Because the creature creator section is a tiny bit of it. You start with a microscopic creature and gradually expand it and add bits to it using a simple version of the Creature Creator until it's big enough to leave the water, at which point you add legs and get the full Creature Creator. You then gradually add bits to your creature until you've upgraded the brain enough to start the Tribal phase, where you develop the tribe until it's big and advanced enough to start a city. Once you have a city you get access to the building and vehicle editors, and your objective is to take over the world. Once you've done *that* you get to build your own UFO, at which point the entire galaxy is open to you, including the ability to terraform planets to be capable of supporting your creature, get into wars with other spacefaring civilizations, etc.
Oh, and every single creature/building/vehicle/planet you encounter in the game was created by another player and downloaded to your computer as required to fill gaps in the ecosystem etc.
Spore is the definition of epic.

oh, k then. i might try it *opens plastic*

Whew.
thanks for saving me the trouble of explaining it.

i got bored before i started to install it :p i might do it tomorrow.

SuckerPunch's Infamous looks good.
Legendary will either be very good or very bad...

That Sabatage game looks pretty good. Can't think of the exact name... you know, the mostly black and white one with the guy that messes with the Nazi's in a WWII setting? Not even sure if it's out yet.

The new Wolfenstein?
Ummm.
Velvet Assassin?
Not h at's a chick..
Dunno.

I think he must mean Velvet Assassin.. can't think of anything else even remotely answering the description.

Velvet looks pretty good.
Max Payne's being made into a movie, due out in a couple months.

Cod4. If you play online on ps3, my ID is Davidcatcat

Ugh.
When I get a new one (current can't read discs) I'll get it back.
CoD: WaW looks beautiful.
CoD4 Engine with fire.
No complaints here.

You have now got me addicted to Spore.

My puter won't run it, but nice to know.

No, not Velvet Assassin.

*sigh* I must shelve through a year worth of GameInformers.

Speaking of assassin, what's everyone's opinion on Assassin's Creed?

Indeed, but they really aren't as mainstream as DragonForce.

Slipknot sucks. *I'm not just saying this to fight with Anuk ;) *

Heh, Spore. It's already won at least nine awards.

Which is a pity, as DragonForce are a really poor example of power metal for most people to base their opinions on... I'd argue Nightwish are more mainstream, actually, and they're sorta power metal..

20 days!
Edit: Spore Creature Creator, Abel? Yeah, demo of Spore. Or part of Spore, technically.

Well, Nightwish may be more mainstream, but not for the gamer/nerd subculture. DragonForce is the only power metal some of my geeky friends listen to, while they have never heard of Nightwish.

Now, my metalhead friends, on teh other hand, deplore both Nightwish and Dragonforce.

Anyway, on topic, I played Soul Calibur at a friend's house for 15 hours* (yes, I'm weird. So sue me.) But that game is SO FREAKIN' AWESOME!

*Includes half an hour interlude of Rainbow Six Vegas 2, and a few hours of random video watching.

Assassin's Creed is meh. Nice concept, rubbish execution. Just gets repetitive so quickly.


Your metalhead friends are rubbish. Nightwish are awesome. What kind of metal *do* they listen to?

Black metal. :P

That doesn't even count as music.

Ahaha.
Assassin's Creed was awesome, just repetitive.
Looked beautiful.
Supposed average by today's standards, but I liked it.
RESISTANCE: FALL OF MAN
Love that game.
Resistance 2!!!!!
Yay.

Ooh, Vegas 2. How was that? Never played it.
