Spow!

Those of you who went to E3 and actually had time to see stuff (I hate you) probably already got the full demo of Spore. We knew this game was going to be good, but after watching the 20-minute demo from Will Wright (available in a few places, including good ol' YouTube) I am completely and utterly floored by the game's design and scope. You want to play in a sandbox? How about an entire friggin' UNIVERSE? I have never been a Sims fan (too boring), and though Spore looks somewhat similar it is clearly cut from entirely different cloth. I was really amazed. Watch the whole thing, and avoid the Robin Williams clip if you can. Sorta funny, but totally unnecessary.
