Today I have nothing to rant about. I've just been playing old PS2 games and reading. Haven't even touched my Xbox in a week. I played "Halo Wars" for a day (VERY STUPID) and rented "Bioshock" (THE BEST) again. I guess all I have to talk about is Spore.
I just played it last night at a friends house. At first you pick you planet and name it, then you start the game. It's pretty simple in the beginning, you start out as some Spore, who just crashed on the planet from some meteor. You slowly move around, eating protein until you mate, and then you spend the protein to evolve you Spore, either buying things to help you eat, make you faster, or giving you some type of weapon to wipe out your enemies, which would be other Spores.
After about a half an hour of mating and changing genetically, I finally advanced for enough to earn some intelligence, and then I grew legs, and was able to walk on land. Bringing the rest of the evolved Spores, I came onto dry land, and started becoming a weird little creature. As I ate protein, obtained from the dead bodies of other animals, I started to change again, being able to grow arms, hands, feet, horns, and even wings for flight. Apparently as you get farther in the game, you change from creatures to cavemen, and from their you enter the middle ages and even the modern era's.
Even though I had a limited time to play it, I enjoyed it thoroughly, going far enough to even recommend people to buy and play it. It's not a violent mature rated gore-fest, and it's not just a dumb kids game either.
Lots of fun, and tons of replay value, the only downsides are the fact that it's for the PC, and that it's all about the theory of evolution. Christians will not like it.

I agree with you that Spore is pretty much the best game ever but why do you think that it is a bad thing to have it on the PC? I remember a game like that that was on the Xbox but it was an epic failure of a game. the controls were extremely complicated and very difficult to understand so nobody was able to play the game to even like it. The PC has the controls and the mouse makes everything on that game possible if it was on a console like the Xbox it would just be hard to do most of the stuff in the game. How would you select anything? with those controllers it would just slow you down.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I guess your right. Like "Halo Wars" on 360. It was a failure because of its control screen that would have been much better on the PC. I would have liked it if it was better graphics, but the control scheme would be to complicated. As always, your smart Ben.
