I got Minecraft (Alpha) yesterday. I played for a few hours. I made a castle, a dungeon, and a house. I realized that's pretty much what the entire game was. It's like Legos, but slower and you can kill stuff. If you're thinking about getting it, the free version is almost exactly the same. The weapons/enemies don't really add anything to the game. Don't waste 9.95 Euros on it.

Update 1.7 was released yesterday, and I find it interesting how much fag stuff Notch can manage to cram into Minecraft. Apparently now survival in the Minecraft wilderness includes pushing blocks with piston machines (running on fairy redstone magic, of course). Not to crush enemies, no that would actually be practical and useful and result in terrifying blood - they just move something a short distance when the redstone tells it to.
It's actually pretty hilarious, because what you could see coming a mile away (and the reason for me protesting this idea when I was still not banned at the forums) is an attempt to create a telescope arm where a piston moves another piston and so on, or pistons moving blocks with redstone on them, something Mojang completely missed, resulting in maps crashing left and right.
