"Spore came out in 2008 to both critical acclaim and disappointed gamers. Although Spore was a great game, it was another that fell short of developer promises. It was fun, but not revolutionary. As a result, Spore lost the attention of gamers quickly. Now, Maxis has returned with Darkspore, a game loosely based on its predecessor."
Darkspore is back on Steam, following its recent removal from the digital distribution service over service issues.
In the wake of the game's removal from Steam, developer Maxis has denied claims that Darkspore has been abandoned, instead announcing that a persistent play-denying issue has been fixed after months of gamer complaints.
GameZone writes, "Electronic Arts has reached out to us to clarify some confusion stemming from a game-breaking bug in Darkspore that resulted in players unable to log-in to the game and its eventual removal from the Steam store."
