Oh man, for some reason this make me want to play Spore, of all things.

Though BF2142 would make much more sense.

if "it's not hard enough/ it's too repetitive" is IGN's complaint about it, i think they maybe missed the point of Spore, even Will Wright has said it's a "toy"; not really so much a game, more like a sandbox.

also, USA release date on a Sunday, and Spore boils down to "Intelligent Design". lolz.

i'm buying it too, if only to even out the Penisaurs and Testiloptrixes bound to show up in my own universes that I have already encountered in the Sporepedia.

because just as with animal life, forms of plant life differ in how much they invest in the potential of individual offspring.

if you're a dandelion or something, you'll have a more insect-like approach. send up hundreds of spores, that each have a 1% chance of germinating. easy come, easy go.

if you develop fruit, you're going for something different. more investment, therefore more expectation, and need, of a payoff.
just like humans.

so, in a like manner, one might wonder why we humans spend roughly a quarter of our lives 'in the nest'. why not something easier?
because we're going for something different.
something a lot more complicated, demanding, and potentially rewarding.

I swore I would never vote for another Spore video again, but I couldn't help it

I don't think Spore counts as its really on the thin line. It could be just a Sims with biology thrown in. Niether does Left 4 Dead, its just a very popular HL Coop mod set in Zombieville.


Bollocks to them all!!
I want Dan Of War 2!!

The spore review would be something similar to a Black and White review
It's a great concept, but gameplaywise it's gonna fall to the ground fast. At least that's my prediction.

i just can't wait for the Spore review.

Which begs a raises the question would God question whether there is a higher God who created him?

I hope my spore has a kick-ass religion.

I believe this game has been so over hyped its not going to meet our expectations in the long run.

Right now I can see that to add that much level of play from spore to planetary warfare they would have needed to cut alot of complexity out of the game.

Isn't it being released to consoles as well? Ditto.

Spore isn't evolution; it's intelligent design.

18.00 == Spore

The spaghetti monster has limbs as noodles. If you ctrl-click-and-drag between joints you can pull off limb segments. You can also Hold ctrl to add to existing limbs segments (provided there are no hands attached). If you go to the help section in the spore menu it will tell you this in the building section. You can also hold alt to copy-and-drag body parts. Hope this helps!

Hehe, Blankfist and I are just "penis joke-spotters" and saw one coming there from a mile away, it ended a bit anti-climatic.
