Spore
 

I was just reading this preview. It looks like a very fun game: evolving a creature (from the beginning of time, mind you) into anything you want, and then form a civ with them and bash head!

Apparently I'm the only one here who sees something in this game, but I won't stop shamelessly plugging this game. There's another preview here.

What appeals to me in this game is that while you control your creature/civilization, the development of creatures/civilizations around you is driven by other players. Whatever you do is seeded into a central database (a.k.a. the internerd), and when any player has the need for data it's downloaded to their computer. The other creatures aren't controlled by other players though, but by the AI. Much about the actual interaction remains foggy.

New things in this preview: placing monoliths to "create" intelligence on other planets. Heh.

I ve seen some videos about it. While I think it is original and cool, I dont think it is my kind of game.

thanks for the heads-up shabba :) looks freaking amazing... lets hope they live up to the hype.

Looks very good. I might buy this game.

I've seen the video from E3 at gamespot and I already read a preview in CGW. This game, along with Hellgate, is definitely on my radar :D

Apparently it's going to take a long, long time before the game is released. Somewhere in 2007, actually...

It's from the creator of the sims and sim city, this guy knows how to make addictive games. While the sims may look boring at first, it's sure addictive. In fact, it's only later on in the game that it becomes really tedious (read: boring). But, like sim city, the game has a lot of depth.

After reading on "Spore" more; I have decided that this can (and hopefully will) be a very cool game that I will certainly buy. Just hoping for a multiplayer variant.

I'd very much like to blast your puny lifeform with my UFO, indeed [worship]

It certainly seems interesting. I'll definately keep an eye on this. Too bad about the long wait though...
