New God game Spore - where you get to develop a species from its beginnings as a unicellular organism, through development as an intelligent and social creature, to interstellar exploration as a spacefaring culture.
Well I installed the game on Thursday night, started playing just before 10 pm and when I wrapped up and uninstalled the damn thing at 8 am next morning I had a galactic empire in my hands. And the game actually noted that I had passed all the stages of evolution in a single sitting and acknowledged the fact with some kind of weird title (forgot what)!
Thank god that my only class that day started at 2.15 and so I had some time to sleep!
PS: BTW, the game itself has little to do with actual evolution and looks more like a covert version of “Intelligent Design” and besides, though it’s engrossing at the first sitting, the game has little re-playability, if any at all.
