For me, personally, Minecraft is my favorite game. There is not a really a "best" because whether you enjoy a game or not is subjective and opinion-based.

Its not your personality who makes you who you are, its your DNA.
Minecraft isn't as good a game as its fanboys make it out to be.
It really depends on what kind of game you like. I personally prefer Minecraft to FPS games, however for some reason I am addicted to Mount and Blade Warband: Napoleonic Wars, probably because it has more swords than guns most of the time.
Red dead redemption. You don't need any DLCs or any messing about, just pure vanilla RDR, cup of tea/can of coke (I am not in any way affiliated with coca cola tm. All rights of Coca Cola tm go to their respective owners.) and a free few house is all you need to have a good time.
I hear the "Undead Nightmare" DLC was good.

I just came to the Minecraft Forum, so you might conclude I still like Minecraft as the majority of people who signed up did it for Minecraft and got bored with it by around 500 posts.
I think Call of Duty is one of the most violent, terrible and gruesome game series ever made. They should ban it for people under the age of 18 and have $2000 fines.
I think Cities in Motion is an awesome game. As well as Fez.
blockscape pretty much beats out minecraft in terms of detail and creativity potential. and its only in its early alpha stages.
this was my first attempt at a house in it, and at the time, i didnt know how stuff worked at all:

Blockscape is looking pretty promising. It's already better than Minecraft regarding building (I don't know how electricity is as I don't use it), and Minecraft sucks outside of both redstone and building.

Did something happen to you in your childhood to give you this unreasonable fear of rutabaga?
And lets start banning Minecraft becuase it supports beatings of animals and has a way to burn your fellow players alive, for this we should all burn notch on a stick. Lets ban Mario kart for supporting road racing that causes thousands and thousands of deaths. Lets ban any MMO as it supports the idea of running round with a weapon in your hand to kill people/ animals for no real reason. Lets ban pac man as it supports obesity. Lets ban any movie with any sort of curse word or it will infect little kids minds...
Please... Shut up...
You shut up.
The fines SHOULD be really high in any part of the world.
Mario kart doesnt support crap in a tuna can.

I disagree! I LOVE Minecraft, and I think it's a great game. But like any Game- heck, like any piece of software- it has it's issues. And Minecraft, like any early genre-setter (or game that brings said genre into the public consciousness, at least) has the first-implementors syndrome in many ways.
Minecraft is far more than just building with redstone to me. People do give it too much credit, but Minecraft is a wonderful game.
I agree, but I think you missed their point. I think a lot of the idea here is that Minecraft has defined a Genre.
There can be some debate here as to whether it defined it, or just brought it to the public consciousness. But nonetheless it is the first of it's kind to gain such publicity. As a first in an area, there are going to be some mistakes made- it's 'unexplored terrain' in many ways; compare a modern RTS with Dune, for example, and we see a lot of refinements in the games and controls. Minecraft has introduced the world to the genre- gave it a "first definition", in much the same way that Wolfenstein gave us FPS games.
However, just as it seeded the public, it has seeded other developers. They see the game, and they love it, but they think they can make some improvement to it. Blockscape, in many ways, is based on that principle. If somebody thinks Minecraft will be the be-all-end-all of this genre, they haven't learned history about games.
The question now is whether the game will become an important footnote in the history of it's genre, superceded by the improvements and refinements to the design that are made to other games, whether it will completely jump the shark (some feel it already has) or whether it will become a prominent competition in the new area.
Even if Minecraft is superceded by another game- and there is no reason to think it won't- I still think we do in fact owe Minecraft, and of course Notch, some sort of Kudos for coming up with it. Ideas may be cheap, but putting them into action is not, and that is what happened.
It's hard to say it without trivializing the efforts of the developers of the other games, but I doubt Terraria, Starbound, Fortresscraft, and Blockscape would exist at all if Minecraft hadn't planted to seed of the idea. They are not clones anymore than Megaman is a Clone of Super Mario; they are similar takes on the same style, and I think we ought to give each one a fair go, rather than polarizing ourself in the "Minecraft is best voxel game ever" crowd just as these games start to take off.
Well to me "better" just seems to narrow for a meaning, but... nothing less I will post what games I enjoy more then Minecraft. Grand Theft Auto 4, God of War 1, Demon's Souls, Sonic Adventure, Little Big Planet 2.

Imagine if SMW or Yoshi's Island generated random worlds and levels. That would be awesome.
I hear the "Undead Nightmare" DLC was good.
I wish there was an official Hunger Games game
Just my opinion though.
I think Call of Duty is one of the most violent, terrible and gruesome game series ever made. They should ban it for people under the age of 18 and have $2000 fines.
I think Cities in Motion is an awesome game. As well as Fez.
It's a;ready banned for 14 and under here in Australian and fines are pretty tough. America should also start banning them more.
Blockscape is looking pretty promising. It's already better than Minecraft regarding building (I don't know how electricity is as I don't use it), and Minecraft sucks outside of both redstone and building.
Also, Warframe.
