Electronic Arts and Maxis have announced that the much-anticipated video game Spore has gone gold and will be available at North American and Asia Pacific retailers September 7—and European retailers will get a jump on things, with the game going on sale September 5.
From the creators of games like The Sims,Spore essentially puts players in charge of the development and evolution of their own custom critters: players can create their own organisms, evolve tribes, develop civilizations, and eventually take their species to space to explore universe created by other Spore players. Players will be able to customize their creatures, as well as their vehicles, buildings, and spaceships, and share all their creations with the larger Spore universe via the (ahem) Sporepedia.
