The game spore is really interesting to me for all the reasons that it is interesting to everyone else. It is a hybrid of all gaming forms and as well its narrative covers time from it's beginning and into the future. The game also illustrates peoples inherent desire to act as god. Spore seems like the ultimate video game version of an omniscient Greek play to me. Regardless the quality of the game once it is released there is a good chance that it will do well. I am interested in the way that these games are marketed similar to movies. A blockbuster film, regardless how good the actually movie a actually is, is marketed in such a way that the film draws in a certain audience on its opening night. Like a Mathew Barney film, spore just continues to teas its audience about the game so as to a crew a larger audience when they actually release it. From what the blog world says, the game has already been pre-ordered by over a million people on amazon.
