Will Wright Doesn't Want To Play God...

...he wants you to. I've read snippets and bits all over game blogs about Will Wright's upcoming work, "Spore," without really having an understanding of what it was. I knew that it was an evolution game wherein the player would guide the development of a life form. What I didn't know was that it was an exercise in ethics and organizational dynamics. I am resolutely excited to interact with this toy. I have yet to more specifically define my interest in virtual worlds, so this is not the time to talk about that, but I do know that the range of play available is exciting to me. I will never be too old to play, be silly and excited and explore someone else's imagination, and the more people I can have to play with, the better.
