Bricks and mortar
Square Enix must be rubbing its paws in anticipation of the release of Dragon Quest Builders in Japan next month, because Minecraft: PS Vita Edition's success in the nation has proven that there's a market for block busters in the East – the genre just needs a little old-school RPG brand power to take it to the next level...
