While comparisons between Minecraft and Terraria are as common as snow in New England, Terraria looks to be an entity in its’ own right. I love Minecraft, it’s one game that my daughter and I can sit down and play for hours, but I’m really excited to play something a little different that has the same style.

I’ll be honest, I haven’t actually played the PC version of this so I don’t quite know exactly how this one plays ….but it appears to be more fast paced and more action oriented than Minecraft. The addition of 4 vs. 4 competitive multiplayer over Xbox Live should be quite interesting as well. Not to mention being able to ride whales underwater, magical unicorns, and a huge selection of weapons and armor.

Who can turn down magical unicorns and whale riding, right?
