I’ve been hearing a lot about game Spore (still in development) from Wil Harris at TWiT. It was recently shown on E3 from the people who also developed The Sims and Sim City.

The premise is simple: take a single-cell organism, then evolve it and modify it all the way up the point where its resultant civilisation takes it up into space. Then, colonise space, form alliances, terraform new planets, and enter a whole new game.

This is the kind of game that when you sit and start playing, you’ll totally forget about the time. Reminds me of the days when Diablo just came out (there was also this custom game on WarCraft entitled “Garden of War” which got me fighting with 8 PC clans all at one — took me hours and hours to successfully finish the scene). Oh, the overnight sessions with my room-mates PC. That’s one reason I wouldn’t install any sort of game on my existing desktop — might give in to the temptation.
