Minecraft managed to land a huge amount of sales on the Xbox platform, but since then, talk of moving the popular game to PlayStation has been pretty quiet. However, Sony has very recently sent Notch, the main developer of Minecraft, a golden PSOne as 'special VIP pass' to E3. On top of this, Notch also got sent a copy of Dungeon Master 2 to play on the console.
Could this mean anything past the fact that Sony want Notch to come and view them reveal more information about the PlayStation 4? - Probably very likely. But what could the reason be for Notch's VIP pass? The first thing that comes to mind is that Minecraft will be revealed for the PlayStation, but whether that's for PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 3 is currently unknown.
It would make sense that Minecraft was put out for both platforms as it would allow players to play Minecraft whether they are on the new console or the old one.
Another possibility is that Notch may be teaming up with Sony

Game of Thrones in Minecraft
A few days ago we mentioned about Mojang's huge success with their sandbox game Minecraft, and here is a great example of why Minecraft has reached such popularity.
The game has always been very caring towards the creative and modding community, and there are plenty of channels showcasing off player-created content within the game. One piece of Minecraft art has astounded me, and it's been created in so much detail that from a distance it almost doesn’t look like Minecraft at all.
The creators, Westoroscraft has accurately built a scene straight from A Game of Thrones, the popular book and TV series. Westoroscraft has managed to fit in

Notch earns $101 Million
The success from Minecraft has been outstanding, and no one quite expected an indie developer like Mojang to score so big and compete in sales with big budget games backed by multi-billion dollar publishers, but no one person has been more pleasantly surprised than Notch, the founding developer of Minecraft.
Notch, or Markus Persson, has managed to score $101 million in 2012 from the super successful Minecraft, bringing in chart topping sales from PC, Xbox, iOS and Android. This big cash sum is also separate from other money given to other members of the indie developer Mojang, and this $101 million dollar sum has gone straight to Notch himself.

Hey all welcome back to my seventh and most likely last post along my Minecraft journey! Last week I said that I had started a new world with more friends, but because this may be my last blog post about my Minecraft journey, I decided that it would be better just to rehash some of my favorite moments from the original game.
If you have been following my blog you would know that I had a lofty list of goals at the beginning that I never really achieved because I was either too dumb or too screwed to do them, but let's take a look at some of my finest achievements!
I'm a winner...
My first achievement that I was most proud of in the game was building my first

Hello everyone and welcome back to the sixth part of my Minecraft series. Where you get to laugh at my pain and hopefully learn something from it for your Minecrafting adventures!
Last time I left you my companion and myself had started a new life in the swamp biome with a new home and even a rooftop garden! Of course, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows to get to that point but it worked out.
This week was looking a lot more productive. Katycat37 was about to learn animal husbandry and I was about to learn how cool it is to have a boat, and how cool it was to get lost.
Fishing and kittens...
As we started to finally settle down in our new home we decided it would be a good time to stop worrying about caring for our survival and just living leisurely. So, my companion found out how to make a fishing rod and began to fish! These fish that she caught was a great source of food for us but when my Minecraft guru friend told her she could

Borderlands 2
Borderlands 2 has been out for almost two weeks now, and the amount of content within the game is unbelievable. If you've managed to get your hands on the game, I'm sure you've probably been pleasantly swamped with side quests, customization options and many other aspects of the gameplay that make it so great and immersive, but there are some features in the game that aren't so easy to spot. We're talking about Easter eggs, baby.
Probably one of the most widely known Easter eggs in Borderlands 2 is the inclusion of an area dedicated to the popular sandbox game, Minecraft. A place called Caustic Caverns has an area sectioned off by blocks that

Hello everyone and welcome back to my second life that I like to call Minecraft!
Last week I left you with bitter sadness coupled with the unknown frontier that lay before me. But this week, everything was starting to look a whole lot better... kind of.
Off on the wrong foot...
After leaving our dismantled home with sadness in our thoughts we set out to a new land, a land that would be much flatter and hopefully not as dangerous as the last. But before we even got to our destination my companion katycat37 and I were separated. I began to look for her like a mad man but with the sun coming down I knew we had to make a shelter. So I did what any good companion would. I left!
Yes I felt bad! But what was I gonna do! Kill both of us? Stop being selfish!
Anyways, as I left the jungle I came to the swamp biome. This particular land was filled with...nothingness. This biome is completely desolate. Except for the water surrounding it

Howdy all, and welcome back to Part 4 of my Minecraft blog here on Evil Controllers! Last time, I left you all with a beautiful Minecraft sunset which seemed to hint that things were starting to looking brighter.
Well, it was anything but bright.
I hate creepers...
After a long journey in the underground mine outside of our humble household I decided that it would be a great time to reorganize all my loot. As I was doing this I had this comforting feeling that my tools could face any enemy in the world of Minecraft. Spiders, creepers, skeletons and zombies all bowed before the heel of my boot in the underground cavern and it gave me a sense of serenity.
Life was good.
Then, all of a sudden, my character was thrown across the room from a powerful explosion! Half of my hearts were gone and my foundation was shaken to its core. I thought to myself,"What the hell just happened?" I then looked to where I was standing and saw

Hey everyone and welcome back to my second blog in my Minecraft series! For all of you who are not familiar with Minecraft it is a one of a kind game that infuses creativity with unforgiving gameplay as I came to find out.
My first playthrough of Minecraft can be summed up into one word: Neanderthal. This is because when I showed my buddy (whom is a Minecraft guru) what I have done he would say things like, "Oh that's nice,"or,"Did you know you could use a bed to respawn instead of walking halfway across the map?"
Yep. Neanderthal was right.
Gotta learn to crawl...
As I began my first world I begin to get stressed. Thoughts raced through my mind faster than a Bugatti Veyron. What will I do? Where will I spawn? I hope I have a wide open area! Will there be monsters already there? What will night bring? How will I get undergrou.... All of a sudden it happens. I spawn! Oh, no! I am in a jungle! There is brush and trees everywhere. How did
