Spore: 11 Things Parents Should Know

Spore is a very unique game that can best be described as a "life simulator." Famous game designer Will Wright, who has worked on such well-loved, commercially successful titles as The Sims, created the long-awaited game, published by Electronic Arts and developed by a subsidiary called Maxis.

#8 is the only thing that they need to know about. Funny how they put a black box over it.

"4. Spore does not espouse or expressly promote any specific theory of the origin of life.

The game is presented in a way that can be interpreted from different perspectives: pure Darwinian evolution or Intelligent Design (with you, the player, aiding in such design). The designers behind the game hope that exploration of such themes of life and its development will help spur peoples' interest in the subject."

Evolution is a fact: there should be no debate about it. However, I'm surprised that more people haven't complained about the evolution in this game. Also, as an atheist, I have no idea why some other atheists are upset about the presence of religion in this game, considering that it is present in every human society in some form.

I agree. No 4 actually pissed me of to the extent that I stopped reading. Just the thought that some parents are AFRAID of the game teaching their kids about evolution makes me sick.

There is no debate in the scientific community about evolution. None. To put it in perspective, there are four times more historians that reject the holocaust than there are scientists rejecting evolution. The supposed "controversy" is a pure fabrication, manufactured by right-wing religious nuts to get creationism into our schools.

So, to sum it up:
Science is awesome. Stop undermining it, douchebags.

The 10 Weirdest Video Games You Can Play Today

From Xfire: "Anyone who's played video games for a couple of years has stuck around long enough to stumble across a few weird ones. Some are even quite popular, which is all the more reason why you'll wonder what made the developers think about making such a game and why people are loving it, despite its weirdness anyway. Not all weird video games are head-scratches. Some are actually quite good."

The stick of truth is a must have for any South Park fans. I spent a good afternoon on Goat simulator, a rare real open world. I planned to try hatoful boyfriend since it was free on Ps Plus. Disco Elysium is on my radar since the final cut came out; as soon as there is a discount, i will take it. Like movies, i like weird games too :)

The 10 Best Video Games With Cut Content

From Xfire: "The four-hour director's cut known as Zack Snyder's Justice League has led to the discussion of movies in the past that might have fared a whole lot better had they been released to be more in line with the original vision of their creators. But, as it turns out, cut content doesn't just happen in movies. In fact, the act of cutting content before the release date happens arguably just as often in video games as it does in cinema."

I can't believe they cut stuff from Skyrim. At release, it was a barebones game with a slight improvement in graphics.

-Foxtrot1840d ago

"Now, before we proceed, we'd like to say that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is one of the best video games ever made. It's not just a fine piece of gaming. It's one of the finest there is"

Really?

MGSV is easily the worst main line MGS game and not just because of cut story content, the open world is bare bones and there's hardly anything to do. It's repetitive, samey and is just lifeless. I appreciate the stealth mechanics, the animations and the way you can go with combat but it's not enough to keep me engaged the full way through.

Kojima should have done a twist and make the main chunk of the game a Metal Gear & Metal Gear 2 remake to bring the story full circle.

Story issues aside, V has amazing gameplay. I'm not sure what you're wanting out of the world in terms of "things to do", it's all the great gameplay the series has always had. Useless filler that other open worlds have like collecting flags and petting horses would have added nothing to that game.

JRMVN1834d ago

THE TRUTH! I don't even know how that game gets praised. The previous ones were so much better.
