Envirogamer: Spore

Spore is a game that is literally about evolution. You first start off as a single cellular organism but then after a while ( for the purpose of this being a game the time aspects are going to be forgiven) you begin to eat and grow until you have eventually grow legs and leave the water for life on land. So once on land you eat ( you pick whether you wanted to be carnivorous, herbivorous, or omnivorous) what you can and then mate. Now while you are exploring you gain point that you can spend to upgrade your species while you are mating. So the thighs you can buy are better arms and legs head shape teeth, etc. So yes the whole upgrade system at this point in the game is changes in DNA that make your species more adaptable to world you inhabit or what happens over time evolution. then after that stage of the game you begin to city build and go to war. then you get space ships and explore space and I din't get that far and don't think that is needed for this quest right now. So what the whole point of the game is that you are playing evolution and that is pretty cool. So EA has stroked it's god complex once again, and I am beginning to get scared of what they will try to control next.
