SPORE

I love this game, I don't play often, but when I do, it SO much fun. It brings me so much nostalgia from playing it when i was younger, back when it came out. This was also made by pre-greedy EA, so its so much fun, even without the two DLC's they made.

I have always, and will always love spore. It is truly a shame that EA has abandoned the IP, and I'll never forgive them for it

This game is stupidly fun for how old it is, I literally can only urge you to purchase the game, its obviously an older one but its so good. Spore was definitely ahead of it's time, and has a relatively impressive amount of customisation for creatures hence why it's still fun. It's also not rocket science (until maybe the space stage, get it?) (im not funny, sorry) so you wont be bashing your head with a rock trying to figure out how to play this game. Actually, I'm pretty sure this ended up being a game fit for all ages, including kids. Probably easy to tell considering the googly eyes... So, it's not difficult. But, God, this game had potential in it's development stages. Like, if you play through Spore today you'll think it's pretty good (if not a tad bit shallow?) but, if development stayed on the track it was initially meant to be like this game would have maybe 3 more stages to play through. It's a shame that it got dumbed down, but even this puerile version of the game has hours of fun to offer. And, I don't mean to make you fantasise about a "what could've been" for a game that is almost 18 years old. Considering it's age, if you're playing on anything built after 2008 you're pretty much guaranteed that you'll be getting good performance. The game engine itself with brick itself before your PC does. But all in all the game's got a really great feel to it and is a load of fun. If you're considering getting it - Stop doing that, and just get it. Such a shame that Maxis - Spore's parent company, obviously - got kneecapped by EA and hurled into the deepest bowels of EAs rotting companies.
