Executive Producer Lucy Bradshaw talks to G4 about Spore... check it out!

Atheists Unhappy With Spore?

G4's The Feed blog is reporting that Will Wright was originally concerned with religious groups when he built Spore, but that the real criticism has come from the atheists! "I think our bigger fear was that we didn't want to offend any religious people; but looking at the discussion that unfolded from this thing, what we had was a good, sizeable group of players that we might call militant atheists, and the rest of the players seemed very tolerant, including all of the religious players." It seems that the atheists take issue with religion being associated with the "higher civilization portion" of the game. Why does anyone find it necessary to read anything into these games? It's a figment of someone's imagination and should be played and appreciated for the hard work and creative efforts that are involved... and why can't we all just get along?

Spore - ETA September 7, 2008

Game designer Will Wright's highly anticipated next release, Spore, will be released world wide on September 7th according to Wired. Wright who is famous for bringing us Sim City and The Sims, gave Wired an exclusive look at the latest version of Spore which takes game players through the ages from the "primordial soup to space exploration." It's a game that my son and I have been anxiously awaiting for years now, let's hope that this release date sticks! No doubt this gorgeous MMO will be worth the wait, we are just getting a little tired of the delays. Check out the screen shots and commentary on Wired.
