IGN AU: Spore Review

Enjoy the subtleties of each individual creature, lovingly made by someone across the world, with its gargantuan testicles and a name like "milfmeister". Explore each planet and reflect on just what a random-number-generator is capable of in the right hands. Spore will take you on a grand journey. It will make you acknowledge just how far games have come, and just how far they have to go, and Spore will change the way you think about the universe you live in.

the good news is i don`t have to pay 500+ bucks to play little big planet, when i could get my creativity out in this game. a lasting appeal of 10 gets me to fable 2 and gears 2 easily.

cemelc5741d ago (Edited 5741d ago )

Yeah me too, imagine when fable2 and gears2 get to PC, i will be playing them too.

Will be a blast using my creativity in LBP and Spore gonna be awsome guess you get half of the fun and no extra game for you sry

chaosatom5741d ago

no. It's called creating a creature.

You're just in DENIAL that LBP is never going to be on xbox.

btw, PS3 is 400 dollars.

poindat5741d ago

Sounds good. This is the first time in a long time that I have actually been excited for a PC game. I wish it wouldn't have died on me 2 days ago.

ThanatosDMC5741d ago

Does anyone know if my Radeon X850 Pro is good enough for this game?

Also, i have 2.8GHz... cuz i cant play Crysis. I wasted $20 two days ago.

hgdaniel5740d ago

@Thanatos

That should be way more than enough

2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
512 MB RAM
A 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
At least 6 GB of hard drive space

ThanatosDMC5739d ago

Ah, bubbles up for you and thanks.

TheIneffableBob5741d ago

I wish Maxis had upped the texture detail/resolution, but it's okay. A mod will probably come out soon that will do that.

dkgshiz5741d ago

Spore you can create creatures of any kind. LBP you can make anything! Just don't be a doodie maker. Both games are good.

The 10 Weirdest Video Games You Can Play Today

From Xfire: "Anyone who's played video games for a couple of years has stuck around long enough to stumble across a few weird ones. Some are even quite popular, which is all the more reason why you'll wonder what made the developers think about making such a game and why people are loving it, despite its weirdness anyway. Not all weird video games are head-scratches. Some are actually quite good."

BlackDoomAx1108d ago

The stick of truth is a must have for any South Park fans. I spent a good afternoon on Goat simulator, a rare real open world. I planned to try hatoful boyfriend since it was free on Ps Plus. Disco Elysium is on my radar since the final cut came out; as soon as there is a discount, i will take it. Like movies, i like weird games too :)

The 10 Best Video Games With Cut Content

From Xfire: "The four-hour director's cut known as Zack Snyder's Justice League has led to the discussion of movies in the past that might have fared a whole lot better had they been released to be more in line with the original vision of their creators. But, as it turns out, cut content doesn't just happen in movies. In fact, the act of cutting content before the release date happens arguably just as often in video games as it does in cinema."

I can't believe they cut stuff from Skyrim. At release, it was a barebones game with a slight improvement in graphics.

-Foxtrot1114d ago

"Now, before we proceed, we'd like to say that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is one of the best video games ever made. It's not just a fine piece of gaming. It's one of the finest there is"

Really?

MGSV is easily the worst main line MGS game and not just because of cut story content, the open world is bare bones and there's hardly anything to do. It's repetitive, samey and is just lifeless. I appreciate the stealth mechanics, the animations and the way you can go with combat but it's not enough to keep me engaged the full way through.

Kojima should have done a twist and make the main chunk of the game a Metal Gear & Metal Gear 2 remake to bring the story full circle.

lsujester1114d ago (Edited 1114d ago )

Story issues aside, V has amazing gameplay. I'm not sure what you're wanting out of the world in terms of "things to do", it's all the great gameplay the series has always had. Useless filler that other open worlds have like collecting flags and petting horses would have added nothing to that game.

JRMVN1108d ago

THE TRUTH! I don't even know how that game gets praised. The previous ones were so much better.
