Spore
Ripten.com writes:
We may have no idea what real aliens might look like, but some of us have a better idea than others. In a planetarium presentation that touched on Yoda, Alf, E.T. and xenomorphs, Spore creator Will Wright and extraterrestrial expert Frank Drake discussed their backgrounds, both personal and professional, and why Spore is the game that will inspire a generation of space cadets.
At the soon-to-be-opened California Academy of Sciences, set in the center of Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, EA held a black tie and feathers/spikes/wings soiree to celebrate the launch of Spore.
Will Wright's speech, for the most part, focused on his own background and inspiration for making Spore, which is a story we've heard a bit about already (see David Jaffe's recent video blog about how good intentions don't guarantee a good game). Frank Drake's talk was more impressive, if only because he doesn't seem to care much about videogames, but was somehow convinced to whip up his own creature in Spore.

Spore
On the first day of release hundreds if not thousands of people who waited patiently for Spore to be released can't take part in the online services because Spore's servers have fallen over according to EA. This results in the game being unable to verify the game's activation code which in turn results in online privileges being removed.» Read More

Spore
Apparently, the Mac version of EA's Spore will require both OS X Leopard, and an Intel chip. While that isn't that bad, if it were Microsoft doing the same with Vista all hell would break loose. Fortunately, Spore is available for both XP and Vista on the Windows platform. Spore is coming out on September 7 on both platforms in the US.» Read More

Spore
After news of Spore breaking the street date in Australia, we hear that Spore has already been cracked by a group called "RELOADED" despite it's use of SecuROM, the anti-pirating software. (the same one used in BioShock) There are currently over 10,000 people downloading the game on just one public torrent tracker. All this 4 days before the game even comes out in North America.» Read More

GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Lazard Capital Markets senior VP, Colin Sebastian, has stated his belief that September will be an important month for Electronic Arts, as it releases two key long-awaited titles - Spore, which he expects to sell 2 million units in the US, and Warhammer Online, which he's anticipated around 650,000 sign-ups for in that territory.
However, he did warn of a difficult year-on-year growth comparison for the month ahead due to the skew last year of the Halo 3 release - although "generally positive industry sales" are expected."

Spore
Creating life forms from scratch is only a piece of the final game, which allows players to go from squirming singled-cell organism to fully fledged space-dwelling civilization. Published by Electronic Arts and developed by Wright's Emeryville, Calif.-based studio Maxis, "Spore" takes a microscopic look at players' choices and their repercussions.
Unlike Wright's people simulator "The Sims," which went on to become the best-selling PC game of all time, the ever-changing gameplay in the five levels of "Spore" fluctuates based on decisions made by the user about their species, such as choosing to become a carnivore over a herbivore or deciding to destroy other creatures instead of socialize with them.

Kotaku Writes:
"f you pre-orded Will Wright's upcoming opus Spore from the Electronic Arts Store you can hit up EA today to pre-load the game."
"Once pre-ordered you can use the EA Download Manager to download 99 percent of the game to your computer. That's the good news. The bad news is that that last 1 percent of Spore is going to take you 30 minutes to an hour to download and install on on Sept. 7 when the game hits North America."

TVGB: "…monsters. I got you there, didn't I? Finally thought you were going to get the inside scoop on Will Wright's wang. Well no such luck (or misfortune, depending on how you look at these things). This little story is all about the legendary game maker's opinions on the more sordid creatures that were created with the Spore Creature Creator. As you have probably seen all over the web people took the chance to create some very, ummm, special looking creatures with the game. Does this offend Mr. Wright? Not a chance."» Read More

Will Wright is not offended by the explicit monsters some folks have created using his evolution simulator, no matter which private parts they may resemble. In fact, Wright said he's been impressed with the indecent beasts spawned by a slimmed-down edition of "Spore," his much-anticipated but difficult-to-describe game.» Read More

Destructoid writes: "The British Board of Film Classification have thoroughly laid down the law on Will Wright's upcoming game of creature modification and evolution, Spore. The BBFC, which also rates some videogames, have decided that the ostensibly mild violence and the reference of a small alien species as "little buggers" is enough to warrant a PG rating. The rating means that there is a possibility that the game could "disturb" any child under eight-years-old. As to the reference, here is the BBFC's comment on the matter.
'…the language in the game comes late on, as the creatures and organisms at the beginning have no method of communication. Once players get to the space level, a group of aliens are referred to as 'little buggers' by a character training the player to fly a spaceship.'
Of course, violence also plays a part in Spore. According to the BBFC, the violence shown in the game is presented as a 'brief flash of red and a few spots of 'meat' which the organism must swim over to eat and grow.' After reading about the disgusting amount of gore in the game, I had to stop and take a deep breath. I am afraid I can no longer report on this decidedly nasty and terrible title. I can only hope that children never get their hands on Spore. Humanity's future could very well be compromised if developers continue to spew out this filth into our culture. What's next Mr. Wright? Are you going to include longer claws and teeth?"

Gamedaily.biz writes: "No disrespect to our previous 10 Questions luminaries, but this just might be our best candidate yet. This is your opportunity to ask Will Wright - send us your questions now!
While we wait for the Q&A to be completed by Lionhead's Peter Molyneux (they're in his hands now and we're told we should have them soon), we're very happy to announce today that legendary game designer Will Wright will be our next 10 Questions participant.
Wright is a man who needs little introduction, but just in case you're reading this and you don't follow the industry, he co-founded developer Maxis with Jeff Braun over 20 years ago and created a game called SimCity, which revolutionized the computer games industry. Many years later he created The Sims, which has gone on to become the best selling franchise of all time with over 100 million units sold – and it spawned an entire label/division within leading publisher EA (which acquired Maxis in 1997)."
