Minecraft is a sandbox game which allows players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D world. It is currently in development by Markus Persson (under the pseudonym "Notch"). The gameplay is inspired by Dwarf Fortress, RollerCoaster Tycoon, Dungeon Keeper, and especially Infiniminer.[1][2] The game has two variants, Alpha and Classic, both with single- and multiplayer options. Classic includes only the building aspects of the game with unlimited blocks, while Alpha includes monsters and a much greater variety of crafting available, as well as requiring players to mine their own blocks. Alpha is currently the latest release of Minecraft, and plans to move into beta sometime in October 2010. Minecraft was developed for about a week before its public release on May 16, 2009 on the TIGSource forums, where it gained a considerable level of popularity. It has been continually updated since then.

So basically, Minecraft is an addictive Lego/survival game crossover. During the day, you mine yourself some materials, then craft tools and buildings from them. Then at night, you hide from all the monsters that appear.

It really is quite fun. I play Multiplayer with some people from my Uni and some people from my forums all the time (the 'survival' aspect is broken in the Multiplayer so it's mostly just a Lego playfield there... not that that's bad, or anything). ;)

Here's some cool stuff people have made from it:

Check it out! It's only 10Euros because it is early in development (and 'will' go up in price), but buying it now guarantees you free updates forever. So hey, why not get it? :D
