Video: Spore '07 Trailer
This trailer for Spore is a little too Apple-y if you know what I mean... Soft, slightly catchy background music, "hip" (ok they're not at all, but at least Maxis is trying!) looking people talking about their game in such embarrassingly positive terms that you almost want to not like it. Unfortunately for my embittered and cynical self, the game actually does look like a blast. I love the individualized touch of everyone who plays it being stamped on the look of their creatures, and the game's telescoping growth. Will you be that much better at the next level because of what you learned in the previous stage? Or will you crash and burn at dealing with an entire civilization? Things will definitely never get boring, with the rules of the game changing as you develop. Although simulation games tend to appeal to women more often than other genres, in general, it's also nice to hear women almost entirely talking about the game. Although that line about the "beautiful space" made me want to tear my ears off with a wire hanger.
Oh, and by the way, did Will Wright get a makeover on Queer Eye?








Used to look forward to this. Still not quite sure how it really works, and how it gets to each stage or whether you have a choice.
Like Luffy would say: Hoshii!
but dear lord... with you saying that it looked like Will Wright got a makeover...
it makes that music sound like something they'd play on Queer Eye.
