Spore

Oh...my...God.

After hearing Matt mention it in Boston last weekend, I thought I'd check it out. From Maxis and the man who brought you "Sim City" and, "The Sims", comes a game without the word 'Sim' in it! You start as a single-celled organism and "evolve" your way through time, ultimately becoming an intergalactic civilization. Sounds kind of far-fetched, but it appears to be the ultimate in allowing a video game player to express his creativity! This game is destined to become a HUGE cult classic! There's so much I could say about it, but I'll let Mr. Will Wright himself explain it!

It's worth every minute!

The best part of this demo is that it's now over a year old! The game has continued to become more polished and refined, likely due out in Q1 or Q2 2007.

I think IGN.com said it best when they said "Put simply, Spore is going to destroy our lives."
