Time magazine has named Spore the 20th best invention of 2008, saying, “It’s blasphemy, brilliance or both to take the entire evolution of a species — from a single-celled animalcule in a drop of water to a space-faring, galaxy-exploring sentient being — and turn it into a video game.”
The retail DNA test was top of the chart, which is kind of fair enough when you think about it. Actually, you don’t have to think about it that hard.

Seriously Spore is probably one of the biggest disappointment of 2008.

Disappointment? Certainly not. It’s kept my wife quiet for weeks and weeks.
Bliss.

20th best invention of 2008 it may be, but it ranks in higher in 2008’s worst games.

I’d take this from the perspective of someone who hasn’t followed the hype and gave Spore a go without actually having known anything about it previously. One would imagine that what they would come away with is the notion that it’s a brilliant premise. And it is that, a brilliant premise.

Of the closet?

Yeah I missed most of the hype on this one and got it on the basis of the glowing reviews. As an idea it was great, I just found it poor in play. Shatner makes a good point though. This is meant to be aimed at a non-core gamer market (Sims).

Doesn’t appeal to me. Never did.

it’s nice for the first 5-10 minutes , but that’s it … It’s clear that its target is the same of the sims : casuals , girls ,non gamers.

I’m sure it’s good, but it’s not for me. I knew that from the word go.

Time lost any credibility when it named “You” as person of the year, this takes them beyond that, which I didn’t think possible.
Spore is winner of gaming disappointment of the decade, The Sims is a far superior game to this piece of shit.
