Spore Computer Game

             Spore is quite possibly one of the greatest games available today.  The day I got it I became addicted, no joke.  I accidentally stayed up until 3:30 this morning playing Spore.  The game offers a combination of RPG and RTS, along with one of the greatest character customizations engines ever.  The character creator is so detailed and intuitive at the same time, I can’t even begin to explain how in depth it is.

              You begin (if you choose) as a single celled organism starting off it’s life in the primordial ooze of a planet of your choice, struggling to survive by eating other cells or eating microscopic plant life, dodging larger carnivorous cells, or beefing yourself up and destroying cells in direct competition with you.  Once you’ve unlocked a few cell evolutionary upgrades you’re ready to sprout some legs and start a new journey onto land!    

               The evolution that takes place on land is the real part of the game, from physical evolution to the evolution of tribes, civilizations, and empires.  If I were to explain the entire game, this article would probably turn into a novel.  The space age, to me, is where the real action begins.  Interacting with other species via the stars, making trade routes, doing missions, colonizing planets (a whole process unto itself) waging intergalactic war, and making mad money (sporebucks), are all part of the space age game.

               To those of you looking to read an article about the game to decide whether you want it or not, just get it, as long as your not looking for an FPS game, this game will rock your world and provide near endless hours of entertainment.  You can look me up on the sporepedia under the name Skonix, I have a few creations posted, feel free to comment on them or use them for your own via downloading them.  I will throw something else up on here so those interested can see my Sporecast(s).  

               Well, I forgot my glasses in class today, and I sit in the back unfortunately, so this is what I decided to do.  Now that class is almost done, I’m out, enjoy Spore!
