Spore by Will Wright/MAXIS, aka SimEverything Options

Heard about the PC game called Spore? It should be coming out this Winter.

Here's one of the most in-depth articles (from 2005) and its companion movie.

I've chosen that article/movie because it builds up and up and up, without letting you know how far it's gonna go or how deep the game is going to get...

Which is probably the best way to be introduced to the game ;)

Let me put it this way. You start out as a hungry single-celled feeding off its environment, kind of like PacMan. As you eat, you get to upgrade your creature with different parts and you increase in size. Eventually you become a swimming creature and then move onto land, where every place is populated with animals, predator and prey. Your guy is made of modeled clay/snap on parts that change its behavior and locomotion, chosen and colored by you. Once you increase its brain size enough, it discovers fire and forms a tribe, allowing you to access the building editor and the vehicle editor (think Play-Doh on steroids) and then the scope of the game just gets bigger and bigger and bigger :cyber:
