Spore prototypes open to public
From fish to beast to spaceship.
EA Maxis has uploaded nearly a dozen game prototypes that were designed to test certain areas of Spore.
Each can be downloaded and played, and range from behavioural and self-propagating star simulators to creature and space-game prototypes. There's even a program that simulates gravitational attraction between particles in clouds.
None of these have been tested for public use, nor are they supported or even explained particularly coherently. The idea was simply to offer eager fans a glimpse behind the evolutionary curtain.
Spore was released last Friday and predictably picked up lots of critical plaudits for the ambitious ideas on offer. Head over to our Spore review to find out why.

OK i give in there EVIL.
Still a good game.

Ideally, they would see that they have hurt their own sales by using this DRM shit. And encouraged more piracy rather than discouraging it...
But the sad truth is that EA will probably point the finger squarely at pirates and use this as an excuse to have even worse DRM in the future.

You'll go blind, if you're not careful.

If only they spent more time on their gameplay mechanics and less on the gavitational behaviour of particles in clouds.
