Spore Mania

Ever since its debut on Sunday, Spore has been dominating game news headlines, and selling quite briskly as well. The reaction to Spore has been quite mixed, however, and some users are particularly unhappy with the game's DRM, which seems to have sparked a sort of "1 star review" protest on Amazon. I suspect that most of this stems from a misunderstanding of the "3 installs" policy, which doesn't actually apply to installs on the same computer. It's getting good scores from the major game sites, but our Sim's Guide has posted her first impressions of Spore, and it doesn't sound like she's hooked just yet.
