From Strategy Informer: "Previously, on Darkspore... With barely a couple of weeks left to go, we're still concerned that EA haven't really handled the game's marketing properly. Even turning up at the EA offices in Guildford for one last play through, several of the other journalists there didn't really know what the game was about, and we wouldn't be surprised if some of you guys didn't either. My personal favourite analogy for this title is Diablo meets Spore, so forgive us if you see that used a lot."

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."
