Apologies for the lack of news, for the purpose of archives I am going to back post quite a bit of news over the next few days. Caryl Shaw gave a presentation at a gaming event in Brisbane, Australia in late 2008 about Spore. Here are some photos from the event.
All Game is making quite a big name for itself in the gaming news world, considering this is the 5th unconfirmed title found on their site. Since no games found on the site ave yet been confirmed, we will have to wait to see how trustworthy the site is.
Back on topic, most of you will know that a new Spore Expansion is in the making at the moment. All Game has listed a title called Spore Galactic Adventures, according to the the them it is expected to be released 31 March 2008. No additional information has been released. You can check out the product page on AllGame.
Also apologies for the lack of news, I will try to update with everything soon!

Review VG-Reloaded has posted a review for Creepya and Cute Parts Pack. Overall they have given the game a 6.5 / 10 [ View ]
The Spore Creepy & Cute Parts Pack won’t wow fans or entice non-fans to give Spore another try, but it does offer a ton of new parts for a cheap price, despite the recession we find ourselves in. If you enjoy playing the part of Dr Frankenstein and making some weird creatures, then this pack might be right up your alley. Otherwise it’s hard to recommend.
Stats Spore.com has posted some new stats, these focus around the most Sporecasted creatures and users with the most achievments. [ Check out Here ]
Spore has made it into the top 10 most pirated games of 2008, but whats even more facinating is that the game is at number 1 in only 3 months!! That's quite bad considering most of the games on this list have been reelased last year, and earlier this year.
