Before you get your molotov cocktails out and start heaving them in the direction of the Electronic Arts offices, stop and listen. We all know what a clusterfuck DRM caused for the game Spore. People bitched quite a bit and this time around, EA is going to listen. On the official Sims 3 blog, Rod Humble from EA just posted ...

Astronomers Capture Images Outside Our Solar System
Outer space is filled with things we’ll never know about. Beautiful objects swirling around in the fiery cosmos. How poetic. Luckily, we have half-decent scientists here in America (and some OK ones from Britain) who used the Gemini North and Keck telescopes at the Mauna Kea observatory in Hawaii to explore outside our solar system. After a little digging, they ...

Shame on you, Pete Hines. Claiming that your latest game, Fallout 3, contains only the mildest form of DRM was a lie. A big fat lie. Not only does the PC version of Fallout 3 contain DRM, it contains the most infamous of all DRMs: SecuROM. Remember what happened to EA for releasing Spore with SecuROM? It got hit with ...

Applause all around for Electronic Arts. The gaming company managed to fuck up big time, this time with Spore.

Let me give you my hypothetical impression of it as to not implicate myself entirely. Spore is a fantastic game. Not since I first played World ...

So looks like we’ve all got a nice gift from Santa this year in the form of Spore, the much awaited game from Will Wright. Sure, it’s due out on Monday, September 7th but who wants to wait the entire weekend? Hop on your favorite Bit Torrent site like I did and grab a copy. RELOADED is the only scene ...

I sure hope you’ve tried out that creature creator for the upcoming Spore, otherwise you’re going to be left in the dark. Having to settle for randomly generating creatures simply because you weren’t creative enough to come up with your own does not please Will Wright. After all, the full game is just around the corner. That’s right, Spore has ...
Read More »Spore Creature Creature Trial Out Now
See this monstrosity above? That’s my new pal, Bonerfart. I created him with the Spore “demo” Spore Creature Creator. There’s a free trial and some bullshit $10 full version with more body parts to mess with. The full game is out in September and after spending 10 minutes with this little sandbox mode, I’m very pleased. Hit the link to ...
