First look at 'Spore': Why Electronic Arts is smiling today
The waiting's over. Spore, one of the most widely anticipated computer games, is finally coming to market. So how does it stack up?
Obviously, there's been a lot of hype around this project--not the least being because Spore's inventor is something of a demigod in gaming circles. But if Will Wright satisfies--or beats--expectations, Spore may become one of the biggest developments in the computer game business in years.
Kevin VanOrd from our sister site GameSpot has one of the first reviews of the product up online. You can read his review here. Kevin also swung by the CNET News Daily Debrief set earlier Thursday to talk more in detail about his impressions. Listen in on our conversation.
