David M Ewalt says:

Why is it news that they've announced a release date for a video game? And why is this video game so special? Because it's the latest release from a master of the medium. It's Spielberg and Lucas doing a new Indiana Jones movie. And it's gonna be huge.

For one, I'm not exactly into sim games, whether of the big-S or small-s variety. Another, the concept just seemed so impossible: Going from a cell to a creature to a civilization to space? Yeah, good luck finishing <EM>that</EM>.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/02/opinion-why-spo.html">Rather than force the player to start at the "cell" level, you can instead select between any of the five different parts of the game right from the start. While this is certainly sure to be a controversial decision -- it takes a lot away from the sense of growth and expansion that I believed the game would have if it forced you to start from the beginning -- it'll let anybody jump in wherever they feel most comfortable.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D567981E-9996-4985-BE09-255511616EEA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
