The Sims was an innovative concept that almost got canceled, avoided such an unfair fate, and now is Electronic Arts' major cashcow, and quite a nuisance for both hardcore and aesthete gamers. The Sims also helped establish Will Wright's fame as both a talented and a money-making games designer, thus earning him the right (and above all the funds) to further experiment with the gaming medium. Spore is the name of his next project, and it truly feels like the evolution of open-ended gaming (or digital playing). Spore could be the most important game yet. Just take a look at the video. It's almost 36 minutes long (35'47'' to be precise), but what else would you except from a game that has you starting as an amoebae and after a few stages lets you control solar systems? You'll be watching gaming history in the making. It's funny too.
