I really have loved the concept of Spore. Right from when I first heard it. Like many, the scope of spore was stunning. I'm still excited... but I'm now hesistant to hype myself about it too much. I need a release date, and even then, I fear delays. Spore is an epic game, and like all epic games, you have to fear delays. Spore has been a game in production for a time now, and the release date is still "Q2 2007." But alot of games say Q2 and get pushed back a few months. And then the company says, lets time it with the holidays. Still, I do think we will see it this year, and I can't wait to see how it plays.
