Architecture and design nerds may find themselves obsessed with these top-rated design and architecture video games.
We've been accustomed to building and mustering lego pieces into a magnificent creation. Even a day on the beach is a way to mold our creativity as we form the sand into castles with our own little hands.
As days, months and years pass, we find ourselves not into those kiddie stuffs anymore. We'd rather watch tv, surf the net, socialize in pubs and, of course, play video games like mad. For this and many other reason, here are five of the many top-rated design and architecture video games that you can play to feed your creative appetite.
Minecraft by Mojang
This is byfar the most played and famous video game. Known for its pixilated feature, Minecraft players are most creative in their creations. The fact that you are able to interact with players across the globe makes this game only one of the bests - if not the best.
