Spore
Will Wright’s new game in development, Spore, is getting a lot of press. It’s been a little hard to understand what the hype is about, but the man explains it well.
Basically, it looks like Sim-universe; take a single cell to a galactic empire. The difference is that player content is paramount, and is shared seamlessly.

I think it looks amazing, if only for the idea that each time you play, you never know what crazy patterns others might have created. It may just be a sandbox and not really a game, but that hasn’t held the Sims back.
Except that this looks cool. The Sims? Just don’t get it.
