Will Wright's Spore To Release Sept. 7th
After several delays and much anticipation, Spore looks like it will finally be coming out this year. EA has announced a September 7th release date for the game. The only confirmed platforms so far are Windows PCs, Macintoshes, the Nintendo DS and various mobile phones. Wright wants the Wii, 360, and PS3 to have the game, but they're not firm 'yes'es yet. Newsweek's LevelUp blog is celebrating the announcement with a series of interviews. N'Gai Croal spoke to Will Wright, and the man himself tries to convince us why it's been worth the wait, and (oh yeah) why it has taken so long. Croal also sat down with the game's Executive Producer, Lucy Bradshaw, who explains how the game has settled onto other platforms like the DS and mobile phones.

I heard they are going to package it together with Duke Nukem Forever! Hooray!
Bring on the vaporware!
Don't give up hope - there's always next year!
And if only they could find a reason to delay the release date until a year from today, they'd hit the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth!
Wait, no, bad, I don't want to give them an excuse to delay further...
Maybe they can delay the PS3 version until 2009. PS3 owners are used to getting late versions of games anyway.
You are in a maze of twisty little relative jumps, all alike.
...so wear a raincoat?
I read through it, and I'm not sure that's actually for The Sims. With messages like "You smell very bad, it's time to take a bath" I think Will was simply encapsulating his own life in code.

If he waits that long, he's going to have a hell of a case of blue balls.
I can't believe I'm seeing what is essentially relationship advice on slashdot.
Actually, its more of a "Intelligent Design" game.
If you are releasing spore through your genitals...well...let's just say you need to get that checked out.
