Depends on how you play it. If you play as survival horror, survive the nightly zombies and skeletons and work your way through to defeating an ender dragon, then it's more of a game. If you play just to create stuff, as I do, it's more of a toy - the sort of thing that deserves the label "sandbox" more than most. I don't believe that there's a specific term for such things, so toys in the trappings of a video game are something that I would still refer to as games, just a new genre of them.

If you ask me, Minecraft goes in the same general category as Assassin's Creed and Grand Theft Auto; it's a sandbox game. It obviously differs quite largely from the aforementioned games in terms of sub-genre, but they're all a "do it how you want to do it" kind of games.

Still going. If Spork wants in, I think she's already aware of the time and date, and she hasn't said anything concrete up until now, nor has she contacted me.

pm'd back.

Glad to be a part of it - the episode and the community!

THIS TIME: ZELDA!
Anyone up?

Newcastle, eh? You're just one hour behind me, it should work itself out. What's your experience with the series?
