A sort of minecraft clone with slightly newer graphics and on XBLA
Lot of people getting wound up about it but I'm of two minds minecraft was not a completely orginally concept it was heavilly inspired by several other games like infiniminer. I think where it improves the formular is the multiplayer and survival aspects of it.
Fortress craft sounds like it's taking a different route but we shall see how it goes.

I agree that MC was an extension of Infiniminer and this game certainly looks like a laugh. I think the graphics were a mistake, though. Having high resolution graphics makes the blocky-ness of the world more prominent. It looks shoddy, rather than intentionally retro. It is definitely one to watch.
yeah I'm inclined to agree with the shoddyness it looks less so on some of the outside shots due to a lot more particle detail on the grass but the mud needs some detail normal maps or something to give it more of a look
