Spores Coming Sept. 7 (For PC and Mac)
According to Electronic Arts, Spore, one of the games used to initially demo the iPhone SDK, has gone gold master. That means a release is imminent.
Unfortunately, the upcoming version is the one developed for Mac OS X and Windows. While that will apparently be hitting the shelves on September 7, 2008 there is no word on the release schedule for Spore for the iPhone. The initial announcement of Spore said that the iPhone version would ship along with the other versions. Apparently we’ll have to wait a bit longer.
The desktop/notebook version of Spore will come in two versions—a $49.99 standard release and a $79.99 "Galactic Edition" that includes a "Making of Spore" DVD, "The Art of Spore" hardback book, an exclusive Spore poster and a 100-page Galactic Handbook.
I’ve used the demo version of the Spore Creator and it is huge fun but it leaves me wondering… what’s with the iPhone version? Since it promises to be an awesome iPhone/iPod Touch game, hopefully it will be soon to follow.
