Greetings, Eurogamers! I'm not sure if you've noticed but there's this game called Minecraft that is a bit popular. If someone could only work out how to make the next Minecraft, they'd be laughing.

Gunscape bills itself as an "FPS construction kit". Ostensibly it's a Minecrafty sandbox smooshed together with Quake 3 Arena in which you can create your own old-school first-person shooter and upload the results for the world to download and play. It comes out on 2 March and is resolutely not the next Minecraft, but when we played it in frantic split-screen it certainly entertained, for better or worse.
