Interesting news as conversations start about how Minecraft is helping with the treatment of autism. For fans of video games this may not be a massive surprise after the success of the Little Big Planet franchise with autistic children. It’s wonderful to see games and gaming in the news for a genre other than FPS and reasons other than people being anti-social. The environment for children to play, learn creativity team work, problem solving and more is simply brilliant. 🙂

While the games news is great, the news that has made me smile isZimbabwe sending Rhinos to Botswana. Over recent years there has been so much bad news coming out of that part of the world it’s great to see something like this big and positive. 🙂
