A Minecraft look, but an entirely different feel (pictures)

Block Fortress brings three gaming genres together. It looks almost exactly like Minecraft, but the gameplay dabbles in both tower defense and the first-person shooter genres.

Here they come

When you start the battle, the Goblocks slowly make their way to your base. You'd better be prepared.

No shortage of weapons

You start out with a pistol, but you'll be able to unlock and use several powerful weapons as you play.

So many walls

You get a ton of different wall types, including many that have the same armor rating so you can give your fortress the look you want. Sturdier wall types like metal walls are farther to the right in the list.

Different terrains to conquer

There are six different terrains to choose from, but there's also a random option at the beginning of the game if you want it to be a surprise.

Night battles

During the game, it will turn from day to night, but that doesn't stop the Goblocks from coming. You'll need to purchase lights and make sure they're powered up so your turrets can see the approaching enemies.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
