Minecraft - The best looking pixels I've seen in a LONG time
This game is my new addiction! Don't let big pixels and blocky graphics discourage you. This game is a must for anyone who's easy addicted to sims and sandbox games.
To get a taste of the action, go to Minecraft.net and sign up. If you don't wanna drop the 15 Euros (about $20 US) yet, play "Classic Minecraft" which is essentially the "World Building" aspect of Minecraft which is awesome enough. The Multi-player is incredible so make sure you check it out or you'll be missing a LOT of what makes Minecraft so great, the community. It reminds me a bit of Little Big Planet.
When you upgrade to the full game (which is currently Beta) you get item synthesis, health, armor, weapons, tools, items, animals, plants that grow and die, flowing water, lava, caves, and EXPLODING MONSTERS!!
Enough gab, PLAY THE GAME!!
