Roblox
Roblox is an online building game where you play with customizable blocks. Fight with rockets, ride trains, destroy skyscrapers, do practically whatever you want. Unlike most other games there aren't any pre-defined goals, you are given blocks and left to do whatever you want.
With your free account, you get a Character and a Place. You can customize your place however you want, and visit anyone else's place as well.
With over 500,000 players, there is plenty of creativity to go around. Every world is user-created, wildly ranging from MMOs, Paintball, Obstical Courses, Adventure maps and many, many more that can't fall into anything but their own category.
Code with Lua, the simple and easy-to-learn programming language, you can do practically whatever you cant think up. Several users have created great things, like trains, planes, cars, factories, tanks, police stations, rockets, the list goes on and on.
This game is a completely custom engine with constant updates, no outdated Torque, and no heavy system requirements.
Come on in and join the fun, there is plenty of room for more.

Bottom Line: Great game, but it's clearly a beta, and is lacking. After playing this game for a bit, I realized that this game is extreamly annoying. It does have great replay value, but the graphics are lacking considerably. not only that, it's very confusing for beginners, and has a gigantic learning curve. the only good part about this game is it's physics, which are also lacking, and it's scripting, Lua, which is nice. The server-picking and such are confusing and stupid. I would greatly recommend player a more advanced game, like Blockland, as it has a much lower learning curve. Lastly, there are \\\"kill\\\" bricks, and no trust system (meaning anyone can destroy your build as they please). It's a nice game, it just feels like the developers were working on more obvious things, instead of working on the things that really matter. The update system is also horrible, requiring you to restart your computer.
