You, too can be a Sporn star

PC Feature | Spore

You know the mod scene is really taking off for a particular game when it gets a nickname. In this case, though, Maxis and EA aren’t thrilled about the online moniker given to the Spore modding scene. “Sporn” may be accurate when you look at some of the explicit creations floating around the web, but it isn’t the most media-friendly name for a game aimed at all ages.Yes, Will Wright’s fantastically addictive ... » Read More

After a long two-week absence, Shane Patterson rejoins the crew just in time to celebrate TalkRadar’s 18th birthday.

TalkRadar 17

PC Feature | Spore

TalkRadar welcomes its very first industry guest this week, Mr. Seth Killian of Capcom fame. He’s involved with all things community, primarily at the Capcom Unity blog and jaw-droppingly hardcore Evo tournaments. Far more interesting than that, however, are his tales of Street Fighter hustling at arcades, infiltrating E3 and harassing the company enough to finally give him a job. See kids, you too can live the dream. ... » Read More

Spore’s rudest creatures

PC Feature | Spore

Do a google search for “sporn” and you’ll find Sporn.com, a site that offers designer leashes, halters, harnesses, and collars for pampered pets. But dig a little deeper and you’ll find an underground community with their heads in the gutter. Abusing the Spore Creature Creator in the name of cheap laughs, these folks are pumping out humping aliens and well-endowed beasts around the clock. A lot of these tireless ... » Read More

Naturally we also picked the titles we are most excited to play at the show, but in short, these are the games to keep an eye on, because these are the games that ... » Read More

The 5 Best Things That Happened to Me While I...

PC Feature | Spore

5. I became a real-time strategy gamer—and it didn’t hurt a bit.We only had 30 minutes of playtime, so I zoomed straight to a part of the game I’d never seen before (the Civilization phase) based on a gaming genre I generally avoid like the plague (RTSes). This is RTS-lite, but not so lite as to be boring: I needed to build resources and keep my people happy and productive. I needed to attack other cities with the ... » Read More

Over a million creatures have been uploaded to the Sporepedia since Spore’s Creature Creator was released.

2007 - The best gaming year ever

PC Feature | Spore

20th Dec, 2007 Gaming is an up and down experience. Some years cram top quality titles into our every orifice until were bursting with videogame joy and have excess polygons dripping messily out of our ears, while some other years… Well, some other years are 1983. In 2007 though, weve had a very good year indeed. A scarily good year in fact. One which has provided us so much brilliance on every format that its a genuine worry that the laws of karmic balance will soon bring us a plague ... » Read More

Pre-E3 blowout day three: PC

PC Feature | Spore

We can't wait Crysis EA dropped the Crysis bomb two months back at the Game Developer's Conference: a three-minute proof-of-concept trailer that allowed us to peer into the future of first-person shooters. We swallowed our gum hard and became cemented in place as we watched (...and watched) as the jungle was torn apart by automatic weapons fire. Tree limbs cracked off, explosions ripped across the landscape and mercenaries stomped through deformable foliage. Emerging from the dense ... » Read More
