Spore: A masterpiece of our time
I hate to write two glowing reviews in a row, but I'll make an exception here.
Spore. Is. AWESOME.
Put on your nerd glasses and bear with my fanboy-ish glee for a moment here. This game is one of those rare, epic experiences I've had in life, like the Lord of the Rings movies or the first time I tried an iPhone. It's still blowing my mind as I type this. I'm not going to attempt to describe it in words, because I could go on and on. Really, you just have to try it for yourself.
Actually, I'm worried. This game is almost TOO good. Not only is it easy to loose track of time when playing this Will Wright masterpiece, it's also really hard to know when to stop. In the best interest of my life, goals, family, and friends, I'm going to start setting a timer when I play, and stick to it. You know... like a child might need. What I'm saying is, be warned. It's potently addictive.
O.K., I'm done. Regular programming will continue now. :)
