I gather this is relatively old news among a certain crowd, but I just saw the video wherein Will Wright presents Spore.
You have got to see this. It's half an hour long, but it will blow your mind.
That man is, I can say without irony or exaggeration, a genius.
Seriously. Go watch. Nothing like this game has ever been done before.
(description: this game, by the same man who made The Sims (and all the Sim City games) lets you evolve a creature from a unicellular spore to an intergalactic civilization. Tweaking everything to your heart's content along the way. It is the Ultimate Sandbox of all time, ever.)
