Minecraft

Minecraft is an ingeniously made indie/construction/sandbox game. Starting the game, you are on your own in an open world, and your only goal is to survive from the different kinds of monsters that come out at night! Fire and wood are your first weapons, and as the game continues, you gather different materials and create blocks, which can be used for constructing. Ultimately, you can construct huge buildings or clever monster traps, and dominate over the world around you. Speaking of the world of the game, note that your surroundings are generated randomly and that the game can generate a world 8 times bigger than earth (given enough hard drive space)! So, in order to explore the whole world around you, theoretically you need six years of real time! The game has already become widely popular, due to its simple (and quite addicting) gameplay, although it is still in beta version.
