Minecraft: Story Mode is just around the corner now, and it might well be Telltale's most fascinating project yet Contextualizing Minecraft with a narrative is no small order, and it was a brave decision too as the developer's fan base is rabid for more seasons from their other series like The Walking Dead and the[...]

At Oculus Connect 2, a few things were announced, but none so were probably as important as the reveal that Minecraft's Windows 10 version will be coming to the Rift This could be a killer app for the game, especially for fans who get their hands on the headset. This is a bit of an about[...]
