Minecraft, the latest way to waste time on your pc. And it's really cool.

Minecraft is a kind of a throwback to the 8 bit first person adventure genre that was so prominent during PC gaming's early days. In Minecraft you're stranded on an island and have to construct everything you need. There's a story, sort of, but it's really about building things with blocks that look like they should be in Mario land. You can build most anything, including the starship Enterprise.
If graphics are your thing, this isn't for you. It's straight up fun gameplay, a huge open ended sandbox where you can basically do what you want. If what you want to do is dig, craft and build. Check it out at www.minecraft.net.
