Um, by "March 3", do you really mean "September 7"? Because that's what all the links seem to say. :)

I can't wait until this game is released - I loved playing SimLife back in the day and I'm so totally excited to try this one out.

Coincidentally, they released the release date for an evolution game on Darwin day.

Of course, this release date is actually just another delay.

Yea I saw a huge demonstration on the web years ago. I loved how he took it from microscopic to interstellar space travel. And how you can download other peoples worlds to explore them.
Sounds really great.

Also I recommend this YouTube video (From the 2006 E3 convention, I believe) where Robin Williams demos the game.

Ironically, Spore is more of an "intelligent design" game than an evolution game.

My boyfriend and I have come to the conclusion that when this game is released, and we get our hands on a copy, both of our lives will end. No one will EVER see us again.

Because we will be making creatures that EATYOURFACE. Or you know, snuggle you into a cuddly doom.
