 There I was, thinking, gee, this seems like Sim City, but with evolution.
 And then Will Wright's name appears.  Ah.

The idea seems live Civilization - but begins earlier. Is there a multiplayer
version, where each species will compete against each other?

EA has described the game as massively single-player (whatever that
means, stereotypical jibes about the body image of gamers
notwithstanding), but it seems that creatures and civilizations created
by other players can be downloaded into your world...

Experience Uplift in the comfort of your own home!

2008-02-13 Thread Dave Land
Folks,

Electronic Arts' _Spore_ is coming soon. You help critters evolve  
from single-celled organisms to become space-farers. Rather reminds  
me of the universe created by a certain Astrophysicist of some renown  
in these parts...

Here's a Wired interview of sorts with the game's designer:

And here's the game's site:

Looks like the sort of thing that could absorb some people for weeks  
and weeks.

Resistance is futile, you will be absorbed?

But I don't wanna be absorbed!
