One word: Spore. The progenitor of The Sims, Will Wright, has been working on Spore for quite a while, surfacing every now and then to donate snippets of information to the salivating gaming media. This game is simulated life like it’s never been done before. If you think you were addicted to The Sims, just wait until you can manage life beginning at the cellular level and working toward civilization. Well, the long wait is over because the creative evolutionary simulator will release for the PC on September 7th.  Spore has been hyped excessively, and while its creators have been visionaries in the past, there is a strong possibility that this game won’t be able to live up to the humungous expectations of gamers. Spore will either be the signal flare of a renaissance in computer gaming, or it’ll find new life in the bargain bins of corporate chain stores everywhere.
