Even though Team Dakota (and SkyBox Labs) released their sandbox/simulator game “Project Spark” just recently. It toke quite a while for me to find out about it(guess there´s no PR money for the game in Sweden?). Oh well, better late than never i guess.

Anyways, Project Spark is now available for both PC (Windows 8.1) and Xbox One (there will also be a 360 version of the game later on). And due to the fact that Project Spark has been out on the market for about a month now , people are already talking about Project Spark being a mix of Little big planet and Minecraft.

I can understand why people draw those parallels though. Because you have to be blind if you can´t see those similarities. But is it for good or bad? That´s what i wonder. Sadly enough i don´t have Win 8 or a Xbox One (at least not for now), so i have to wait a while to find out if Project Spark rocks or sucks.
