Minecraft is a game much like a Virtual lego set. Everything is made of blocks and you can create anything. As long as you can dream you can build. The game has 2 main objectives: To survive and to find a portal to ‘The End’ Realm and beating the Enderdragon.

Plants vs. Zombies (PvZ) - Not necessarily a phrase you hear all the time in the real world, but a winning combination in the gaming world. Zombies are becoming ever popular with the casual gamers (Zombie Taxi, Zombieville) and the hardcore gamers (CoD: Zombies, Left 4 Dead). PvZ definitely falls into the casual gamer category.

Apple Start the Year well on the Stock Market.

2011 Marks the 10th anniversary for Mac OS X, and the iPod, big stuff, a big year for apple. Apart from celebrating the 10th anniversary, Apple have two amazing prospects to look forward to. First is the new Mac App Store opening, this is definitely going to be a success. The other is its partnerships with verizon, big stuff, a big year.

It was announced back in October this year, and promised by Jobs himself to be released within 60 days. Well, we're passed those 60 long days now, yet no sign of the Mac App Store in your dock. Don't fear, it's coming soon! 6th January to be exact. So, what can we expect from this new platform?

1. Auto-Install - There'll be no need to drag that .app file to the Applications folder anymore. Apple will be kind enough to install it for you!
2. Auto-Updates - Remember the *sad face* when an application announces it needs an update just when you want to use it? That will happen no longer, with Apple's auto update feature!
3. No Serials - There'll be no need to keep hold of your serial keys for applications. Your applications will be tied to your Apple ID.

So, those are the main benefits of this new Mac App Store, which will be available as an additional download on the 6th January 2011, or as part of Mac OS X Lion when it pounces in 2011!

The all new MacBook Air has recently been released, starting from £849. One of the most apparent changes that jump out at you when using the new MacBook has to be the 'High-resolution display' - the pixels literally jump out of you. Measuring in at just 0.19 inches its remarkable how a screen so thin can produce such breath taking images; perfect for the to Mac software- FaceTime.

The MacBook has been built around flash storage, which after immediate use becomes apparent how impressive the MacBook Air really is. Apple have taken apart the housing of a typical Solid StateHard Drive and have taken the important parts out - which only use up 10% of the Hard Drive; the Flash Chips. This helps add to the MacBook shockingly low weight of 2.3 pounds.

Also, the 30 days stand-by-time comes as a added bonus, (5 hours wireless productivity) making it possible to forget about needing to charge. Another key aspect is the Multi-Touch trackpad which is used for precise cursor control; supports inertial scrolling, pinch, rotate, swipe, three-finger swipe, four-finger swipe, tap, double-tap and drag capabilities, so you don't need to worry about buying a mouse for it!

The MacBook Air is definitely a must buy; Period.

A FaceTime Beta has has been released making it now possible to use FaceTime on your iTouch or iPhone and now your Mac! Apple recently released the new software, making it possible to connect all three gadgets through the new Skype alike software. On the Beta FaceTime is constantly running on all of your devices and will ring out aloud on every compatible device you own, so there's no worry of missing calls.

At the "Back to Mac" event on Wednesday, Apple announced their new update to the Mac line, the MacBook Air. Well, it seems that Apple are now shipping this new Mac with the lack of Adobe Flash. Is this a further display of Apple's hate of Flash, as with the lack of Flash on the iPad and other iOS devices, or is this for 'security purposes'?

Apple have told Engadget that this news is not a display of hate, and is simply for security purposes;

"We're happy to continue to support Flash on the Mac, and the best way for users to always have the most up to date and secure version is to download it directly from Adobe."

As you may have heard, Apple are holding their latest special event, "Back to Mac", which has a focus solely on the Mac family. There's a lot of speculation about what's going to be announced, from a touch screen iMac, to an update on their world renowned operating system, Mac OS X. The fact is that some of these rumors will be true, but the majority false.

On the invitation to the event, there is an Apple logo, which is slightly turned to reveal a lion - the king of the "Mac OS Jungle", giving pretty solid evidence that the next release of OS X will be called "Lion".

Update: We've been told by Apple that there will be a live stream of the event at 6pm GMT (10am PDT).
