“Spanning hundreds of millions of years, Spore’s scope is unprecedented in gaming. It has been a long time in the making and the team at Maxis is excited to finally share the game with the world"

Wow. The first software programmers must have been single celled organisms. Impressive.

DNA is digital!

Customize every aspect of my universe, eh? Will I get to do Salma Hayek in this universe? If not, it is of no use to me.

It bettter be less than $9.99 in the App Store.

3 out of 4 Apple Notebooks sold are MacBooks with Intel GMA processors. Why then do no games support this processor? Instead, maybe they should buy a Mac Mini...oh wait...same issue...GMA. Even the low end iMac until recently used the GMA graphics chip. Nearly every notebook sold for college student (which are typically big gamers) are MacBook. Spore won't run on it.

hmmm... wonder what republicans think of this "evolving life" concept... maybe it will wake them from their stupor

@moo: as a Republican, biologist, and Darwinian, I can attest I have plenty of comfort around the concept, perhaps even more than someone who calls himself moo

Spore is a 3 install limit which could be triggered by upgrading any hardware or reinstalling the OS...or if you're unlucky enough to get a copy whose CD key has been stolen/used by a pirate.

See the amazon Spore forum for more info. Think about the DRM used before buying.

@ Not Moo: so your are quite the oxymoron then... bravo for you!

@moo

Perhaps the customizability extends to having a deity to help along and intelligently design evolution? Or starting the world already evolved at 4000 BC, with dinosaurs and humans coexisting?

I live in Australia so was lucky enough to pick up a copy yesterday for my Mac. Just finished the cell stage. Im really likming it so far

@moo

I am also a Republican (for lack of anything better). I am more of a libertarian. Contrary to your simple stereotypes, I am black, I don't give a flying hoot if gays get married, I am saddened by abortion but do not seek to make it illegal, and I am an atheist.

That evolution occurred is accepted as fact in all but the darkest corners of the superstitious mind. In the scientifically literate world, only the particulars are debated.

My political beliefs are largely predicated upon fiscal responsibility, small government, and the rights of the individual not being obliterated by those who believe in the rights of the collective.

You see you probably know very little about Republicans.

MDN Magic word is country which reminds me, I am beyond happy that I was born in this country, and I would happily die for it if need be.

@ theloniousMac

I could give 2 shits what your politics and religious beliefs are and why would you think that I would?

Ya, I log onto this site to read your bullshit. Half of which I agree with, half I don't But thats not the point. My point is: Please leave.

@theloniousMac

Those are some pretty dark corners in your President's mind. Nice crowd you run around with.

TheloniousMac, I Think you are out of touch with the base of your party. Goldwater may have started the conserative movement by the republican party has moved far from the small government low taxes platform it once championed.
