Minecraft is pretty awesome. Did you try it Swish, or just have an opinion on it from reading about it? I thought it sounded dumb until I actually played.
My favorite part of the game though is the first hour of a hardcore game. It reminds me of what MMOs used to be like when I was a little gamer, big and unknowable and scary. You're not sure what's around the next corner and you're just trying to cautiously explore while accomplishing little goals to get yourself established and stuff. I enjoy playing it with RL buddies, working together building up projects (and/or trying to kill each other with clever and unexpected traps) or playing on hardcore and trying to actually "win" the game by killing the bosses.
