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.

Minecraft is probably the only game in gaming history, where cheating counts as an ACHIEVEMENT.
It's easy to see how the "On A Rail" achievement came to be:
Retarded community writes a thread about achievements, one of these is to ride a cart 1 000 blocks. Notch thinks this is awesome. He doesn't think - he just obeys the retards.
Would Notch have thought about this for even a second, he would have realized that this would either require finding, mining and smelting 6 005 iron ingots to make the tracks and cart (which would require a kid with aspergers syndrome mining around the clock for a full year), or using the cheat hack TooManyItems (and just be a kid with aspergers syndrome laying tracks for 4 hours straight).
Imagine an FPS where not picking up any ammo would be an achievement. It's the ultimate sign that the game developers have sold out to people who do nothing but shit on the game.
