Spore will be the next BIG thing. It will be HUGE. Everyone will be talking about this game. From September 2008, the gaming world will change.

The rumours about Spore started around 2003/2004. The enthusiasts in us have been watching and waiting patiently for a long time. Since then there have been loads of delays, but finally a release date has been anounced : September 2008! This is brilliant news, I have already pre-ordered my copy (you can pre-order yours too buy clicking on the link…)

So, what is Spore? Let me break it down for you. It is life. Sort of. You start out as a “Spore”, a single celled entity swimming around in a drop of water. You end up creating an entire race! There is lots in between, but I will do a full article about this soon, detailing the ins and outs of this game. Trust me, it is EPIC!

Check out http://www.gametap.com. I was pretty dubious about this at first, because as with free offers, there is usually a catch. however this doesn’t seem to have one (aside from a few adverts). There is also a pay option which gives you “Gold” status (extending the catalogue of games)

Gametap is an emulator of sorts. It allows you to play a big back catalogue of games from all different platforms (including PC, ATARI, Arcade, Saturn, Commodore, DOS etc.). The selection of free games is pretty impressive. Some of the tiles for free are : Cannon Fodder, Sam & Max episodes, Tomb Raider Legends, Colin McRae 2005, Commandoes 3, Hitman, Hitman 2, Metal Slug…and a load of others.

If you pay to go Gold (not sure how much this is) it unlocks an even bigger catalogue of games.

Go to http://www.gametap.com and download the installer (about 30mb). I am off to play Tomb Raider : Legends…
