By Chris Pereira Rumors begin circulating earlier today that EA would be shutting down Pandemic Studios, the developer behind Mercenaries, Full Spectrum Warrior, Star Wars: Battlefront, and Destroy All Humans. They were currently at work on The Saboteur, which is set for release on December 8. Kotaku r...

By RawmeatCowboy Full review here A portion of a C3 review… The Spore concept is a difficult one to transfer well to weaker hardware, but thankfully EA have not tried to shoehorn in anything unnecessary to a good gaming experience. Sadly, what is here, in regards to fighting and journeying, doesn’t hold up i...

By Stephen Totilo This is where I saw the potential. I asked the Spore Hero producer if the size of my creature affected his ability to get hit in a fight. Maybe a smaller creature would have a smaller hit box and a larger one So the reality might not be coming, but Spore Hero, at least, suggest what the birth of a Spo...

By Kris Pigna Unlike the universe-spanning PC simulation it's spun off from, Spore Hero is a disappointingly generic third-person platformer with some very light "Metroidvania" influences. You start the game with a barely evolved creature that crash lands on an unfamiliar planet, and you then exp...

By Justin Haywald When Will Wright first talked about his plans for Spore, he set expectations so high that no game could've possibly lived up to the hype. Spore was a good game, but instead of doing one or two things really well, it was more like several decent games tossed together. Spore's recent expansion,...

By MTV Video Games “Spore Galactic Adventures,” the first major gameplay expansion, is an effort to change that. “Spore” has an endless late-game; players who are able to reach the final Space Stage with their created species see the galaxy open up before them into thousands – perhaps more – of discrete sta...

By AJ Glasser Oh well. Here goes… What is it? Spore Galactic adventures is an expansion pack for Spore that lets you extend the space exploration segment to actual adventure gaming – kind of like the creature phase, only now you have guns and armor and stuff.

And toys and play, Wright says, go hand-in-hand. If you step way back and look at Spore as a whole it's meant to show a grand arch, the story of life," her said. "The Sims is like the story of life on Earth, Spore is life with a capital L." Goodwin says Spore "amplifies the imagination."

By srikalanna Spore. So full of promise. Such a disappointment to so many.

PC version updated to v1.03

By ballightning To take a quick tangent let me use the creature design vs. performance as an example. We had competing issues to face. First, we wanted the creature’s design to impact its in-game performance. Second, we wanted the economics of the editor to be simple and understandable and connected to performance. Third, we wanted a high amount of aesthetic diversity. We didn’t want there to be one ultimate design direction that the simulator was forcing all the creatures into. In other words if to be fast you had to have long legs that would have met the first goal, conflicted with the third goal and made the second much more complex. Will Wright   [read the full post]
