In the run-up to the launch of "Spore," the latest creation from "The Sims" creator Will Wright, Electronic Arts has released "Spore Creature Creator," a sort of prequel to the full game, which is set for release in September. "Spore" is a massively single-player online game that puts the power of biological evolution in the hands of its players. Developed for play on PCs and Macs, the game follows a species from single cell organisms bathed in primordial ooze to sentient beings with intelligence and a social culture to intergalactic explorers in a space-faring society.
This isn't a complaint about you, because I have seen this written in many places now.
The Term "Massively Single-Player" is very incorrect. It was quick-ripped from "massively multi-player", meaning many more players than your standard multi-player game. To truly have a "Massively Single-player" game, you would need a massive amount of a single player to interact with his/her self. I suppose cloning is possible, but very unethical.
As for this game, it looks like a blast, and I can't wait to pick it up when it hits stores.
