In what could be considered one of the most anticipated and talked about games in gaming history, Electronic Arts is releasing Spore this week… more than three years after it was brought into public consciousness.

This release date was one year after initially expected, but the company wanted to make sure all the social networking features were in place and it was polished and perfected.

The game, which will hit European shelves on Friday and American shelves on Sunday is expected to help raise EA’s falling revenues with its release.

For those unfamiliar with the title, Spore takes the sim concept to a whole new level of detail. Instead of just micromanaging a company, neighborhood or a zoo you are micromanaging evolution. Starting out with the simplest of organisms and goes on to form planets and galaxies. Tying into the social aspect of the game, the characters are not your alone but become part of the environment experienced by other players.

If this game lives upto its hype, even fractionally, it is going to be an amazing experience!

Happy gaming!
