Way back when I was big into the Sim games (SimCity, SimEarth, The Sims, etc), I of course had the dream of the ultimate sim, where if you, say, had a city, you could zoom in on a particular building and control it like SimTower, or zoom in further to a particular person and control him like The Sims.

When playing Civilization type games, I always kinda wanted the game to continue, where after you'd more or less conquered the world, you'd start seeing aliens and have a bigger Galactic Civ game grow up organically.

This isn't quite either of them... but it has elements of both, and looks very cool: The game starts with you controlling a single celled organism. As it goes on, you control much much more.

Watch Will Wright demonstrate Spore.

Tres cool.

No idea, I just got the link and that's it, so anything not in the link I don't know. :)

According to a supplemental article I read, it's aimed for the last quarter of 2006.
