I'm a cautious PC gamer, because if you open the package you can't return it if in reality your PC can not indeed handle a game. That being said my recent investigation into Spore has me excited! Will Wright is a fantastic game designer, most of my PC collection consists of The Sims and The Sims 2 and their respected expansions. I also took joy in Black and White 2, which to me Spore looks like The Sims meets Sim Societies meets Black and White with the whole God aspect to it.



Spore Images, this page got me really excited, the graphics look splendid, but not to scary to my PC specs and it also looks like it will be for previous versions and not Vista only.

I'm pretty sure a lot of gamers are not into the whole hours of designing stuff then watching it move type of game play, but to me this is the stuff that only the PC can process fluently. I am aware of this title having a port on the Wii, but honestly, it will be best played on the PC. In fact I challenge anyone to try and talk me into believing this title would be just as good on the Wii as on the PC. That being said, a Mario game would suck on the PC. Using the WASD keys to move Mario and Space to jump would be a grueling experience to say the least.

I'm a console specific gamer I suppose, I purchase a console (or computer) knowing before hand the kind of games and game play I am expecting (the Wii sure surprised me...). In fact as I like to close my petite blog postings with questions to give you the viewer a little time for expression as well, do you believe in console specific gaming? Are you a console specific gamer?

This may include the franchises, because Final Fantasy 13 honestly made me get the PS3 over the Xbox 360 and I bought my Wii for Mario and Zelda and I play RTS, Simulations and MMOs on PC. All totally different and equally awesome I might add. So how bout it?
