Exciting news for those of us who love to play games that take away your social life! Will Wright’s upcoming game Spore, which is coming out “some time” this year, has been announced that it will be released side by side with the PC version. This is a first for computer games, as most Mac gamers have to wait months and sometimes years to play the same games as PC owners. In fact, it looks like EA Games is trying to reconcile this difference by making all of their games drop at the same time.

I’m particularly excited about this because the game looks amazing. I can’t wait to create an amazing looking critter and then DESTROY with it. But I’ve also heard rumors that the game is…. boring… and that’s why it’s been delayed so much. I can’t see how that can even be possible, but maybe it could be monotonous? I dunno, I’m gonna’ camp out for it.

1. Sounds great. Not a first though! I’m not a massive fan, but Blizzard have been releasing Warcraft games on one hybrid Mac+PC disc for some time now! I would love to see this more often!

2. I’ve been waiting for Spore for a while, slowly getting tired of rumors and conjecture. It’s good to know that I won’t have to wait a few extra months after my PC friends are already creating new life. Of course, I won’t be able to afford it because I will have just gone broke buying the MacBook Air.
