I just watched a video demo of a game (Spore) to be released
this fall, and it looks amazing.

(from the creator of the Sims and SimCity, Will Wright.)

The video is 35 mins long but well worth watching.

I guess this is old news, because there are articles about it
from a year ago:

Hey, it's basically starts off as the highly contested intelligent
design theory as a game.

If my local school board adopts that into their curriculum, doubt it'd
pass around here, I'll attend the PTA meeting and suggest they get
this as part of their course work.

Here's some more recent stuff about Spore (well, not that
recent... a couple months ago):
http://totalspore.com/articles/official-spore-news/e3-recap/

I just watched the first three videos in the "new videos"
section, and I am totally blown away.

What's most interesting to me is how all the creatures and
planets in the game will be fed in from other players, custom
selected to match each player's needs and abilities. I wonder how
well that will work, and what kinds of new social phenomena will
result.

This seems like the kind of game that could still be fun after
thousands of hours of play. Better stay away from it...
