One of the most awesome parts of community day was being able to play SPORE for myself. The Maxis crew let us play for about 3 hours or so [...]

New game information page
Just a quick note that I just pushed the game information page live tonight.

If you’re interested in seeing the whole thing, I found it on Google Video.
