Oh.. and it seems Spore is so late because in addition to the greatest game ever made they also built in full social software from tagging to commenting as well as easy youtube upload from in game video.
Spore
Spore release date announced for September 7th 2008. That’s almost 6 months away which is beyond depressing. I was really hoping Amazon’s May 2nd release day would come true. At the very least it looks like they’ve started marketing the game so we can look forward to tons of video and other behind the scenes sort of stuff.
