Publisher's Description
From Markus Persson:
Minecraft is a game about placing blocks to build anything you can imagine. At night monsters come out, make sure to build a shelter before that happens. It also has music by C418!
What's new in this version: Version 1.8 added a brand new biome generation code that simplifies life a lot and makes things much more exciting for the future.

"Game is good, but this "freeware" download is terrible"
Version: Minecraft 1.8.0 beta
Pros
The actual game is, as I've heard from friends, awesome.
Cons
This "freeware" just opens a "Minecraft Launcher" where you can register an account, but it won't let you play unless you buy the actual game.
Summary
You can just as well go to http://www.minecraft.net/download, where it says "When you have bought the game, you can download the stand-alone launcher for Minecraft here." I think it's kind of a lie to make people believe you can actually download Minecraft on this page.
