Speaking of the opening of spore, did anyone see Yahtzee's (ZP) review of it? He said that each phase of the game ripped off a different game... I'd really like to know what the first phase ripped off becuase it was the only part that was fun.
There was an awesome flash game where you constantly ate elaborate shapes and grew and transfered to a different size scope.
dont remember the name but it was v cool very well known and was made prior to spore.
