Minecrack

If you haven’t heard about Minecraft yet then you’re not one of the cool kids. It’s a stupidly addictive game. I mean that, it’s ridiculously addictive and equally hard to explain, it’s both very, very simple (mine for stuff and craft things together whilst avoiding zombies at night) and remarkably complex. If you buy it now, whilst it’s still in Alpha mode then it’s less than 10 euros to buy. I’ll stick a couple of videos below to try to demonstrate the game, I think the best one is ‘how to survive your first night in Minecraft’

and an example of one person’s nicely sculpted world

The game uses java so works on PC, Mac and Linux and you can join a multiplayer server for collaborative efforts.
