Spore is my new favorite game. I bought it the day it came out. If you don't know what it is, I'll fill you in:
You start as a cell and then you have to build a colony. (BTW - You can name them, so my spores' name is "Bla.")
Right now I'm in my spaceship and I'm trying to build my empire. You can go to war with other planets or borrow other planet's ships.
You can also do stuff like make creatures, buildings, creature's spaceships or airplanes. You can even test your creatures by walking with them and see how they work.
The game gets better as you go along as you go along. Since the show is coming up (!!!) I haven't had a lot of time to play lately. But, when I do, I'll stretch while I'm playing it and I'll play for a half hour before bed.
I'll post more when things are less busy. If you're in NY this week, go see BETM! (If you're not in NY . . . come to NY!)
