Minecraft
From ShackWiki
Minecraft is the best game ever known to the shack.
If you want to play single or multiplayer Survival mode (the only really fun game mode) then you will need to pay for the game. The game is in alpha and is only 10 euros so don't be a cheapskate, you big asshole. You paid more than that to see Avatar at the cinema, remember?
