Evolution with the game ‘Spore’
Recently there has been a lot of hubbub about the new game “SPORE” by the creator of the “Sims” games. The concept: evolve your creature and an entire civilization from multi-cellular organism to intergalactic citizen.
Since the game just came out, it’s $50. I don’t have $50 to spend on a game, so I just sighed and figured “later.”
But Lo, behold! The first stage of the game has been packaged into a mobile version, called “Spore: Origins,” which I happily bought for $5 for my iPod. It’s a lot of fun!
NOTE: It is difficult to play scroll-wheel games on the iPod after washing dishes (i.e., the oils are washed off of your thumb…)
After having so much fun on the iPod, I had to look around for the full version again. I found it on Amazon, “previously owned, but never opened,” for $31. Woohoo! And so, it’s on its way.
I actually hope the whole family enjoys it. I can see Bethy and Gwen getting in to the evolution aspect of it, creating their characters and whatnot.
Well, that’s all I have to say.
Who Said That?!
