Spore

If you ever fancied trying your hand at being a god, then perhaps Spore is the game for you. It will be available sometime next year. In the meantime, here’s an in-depth article in the NYT about it. Created by the man behind SimCity, it moves up to the scale of universe building, rather than just city planning. I might consider giving it a whirl, although I soon lost interest in Black and White when I tried that a few years back. I just don’t have the patience needed by a god, I suppose.
