Spore From Cell to Galactic God

pcworld.com Video.

Senior Editor Darren Gladstone went to the kickoff event for the release of the first module from the highly anticipated new video game Spore. The Creature Creator component of the game lets users design personalized monsters that can be shared online. Gamers can import these creatures into the full version of the game, which Maxis says will be released in September. The final version of the game will feature gameplay that involves creating a cellular creature that you can evolve into a tribe of sentient beings which can try to leave their home planet and populate the galaxy.

The executive producer seems like a bitch

OH NO!!! People are having fun and being creative! sombody STOP THEM!!!

Seriously though, how many "inately good" or "inately bad" people do you know? Do you really think that humans are that simple?

If you study how corruption actually occurs in the world it is not a result of video games. Also, everyone can do good and do bad - character is only part of what drives behavior. Situation has a lot to do with it too.

On another note, first time I played I got Galactic God staying up overnight. I didn't know it existed, I just couldn't put it down. However, I feel now that it was a complete waste. Like many games, it was neat...for a little while.

Precisely. In this world, it is safe to say that nearly nothing is at it seems. To be a slave in today's society, one need only consume, consume, consume!

But, power is not what corrupts. Innately good people will not be corrupted by such a thing as power. Most of those in power here are corrupt because their entire existence was designed from evil. That is, their essence is evil and they will naturally lean towards it...too few if any realize that they are leading us on a path to destruction.

computer game's main threat is in their inevitable result of increadibly indulging ones ego. Ego bathes in a world of control and god like role and thus power. Power is the number one intoxifier for the ego and is more addictive than any of the drugs of the body. it's ironic how innocent computer games might appear when in fact they are probably more dangerous for a healthy psychological development of a child than alcohol.

this is how i imagine maxis "oh lets make the final level where they have to conquer 50 bajillion planets all at once! not only that but lets make it so they cant even save after theyve beaten the second to last level! yeah were geniuses were gonna get so much fan mail thanking us"

you fucking pricks disabling the save feature on the last level. you should be ashamed of youoselves, i know I'M ashamed of you.

PS: they call it easy for a reason
