Minecraft is incredible, if you haven't bought it yet there is a sale going on right now so get it now.
I was looking for a free demo and accidentally got the entire game for free (swww2198 was with me), and we played it, and LOVED IT. So now we both actually bought the game and it so worth it. The game is you. Do whatever you want, whenever you want (except at night because you will.... die... and lose EVERYTHING... trust me). Your world is based on what you want when you get to a certain point. i.e. In my game, i found a awesome pond in mountains, and made a hole there. That hole turned into a mining place so i flourished in stone tools early. Then I went and got the basic wood, food, etc. the next day, then that night struck iron. Now I'm already extremely really far after 2 days with at least 500 pieces of Cobblestone, followed by the next day hitting bedrock (the bottom of the world where you can no longer dig, along with Lapis Lazuli, then made an awesome house area so no creatures can enter plus it looks cool, and now I just found gold and am close to red stone and diamond which is awesome. Screw farming and hunting. I made a LIVING off of mining in just a few days (a few hours in Earth). BTW: As I am writing this, I have found red stone! Also one thing that everyone deciding on playing Minecraft or not should know is, the world is nearly endless so have fun when you walk too far without a compass/map and watch. The only bad thing really is some little bugs here and there, mainly the screen slowing down from time to time and random colors flashing (especially blue, and especially in mines) and it makes me think that I have found Lapis Lazuli when I really didn't :(. The good part is that it is still a beta version so all of these little bugs should be fixed up :).
I think that is all I have to say about Minecraft for now, more opinions will come as time goes on. In addition, I am think about building some huge sculpture type thing, any ideas?
