Although a sizeable step forward for Sony, the news of Minecraft ’s expansion is rather unsurprising. The continued efforts of the game’s creator, “Notch,” has kept the title relevant to the larger gaming community, which is to say nothing of the game’s excellent use of gamepad controls—a rarity for PC ports.
