For starters, will this game keep its title? It seems to be FAR too grand in scale to have such a pedestrian title. I read that they considered SIM EVERYTHING but decided they wanted to break away from that series since it is such a huge leap forward in technology. So here are my Top 10 potential new titles for SPORE!
10. EVOLUTION - Probably scare away the religious right.
9. GROWTH - It's not a tumor.
8. MITOSIS - Doesn't work very well beyond the microscopic scale.
7. OSMOSIS - Seemed like a likely progression past MITOSIS, but really makes no sense.
6. CREATION - Technically correct. It puts the user in a God-like position, but it could scare off the scientists. Yet, how great to name a game after the religious belief, yet base it completely on scientific fact and evolutionary theory.
5. HELLO WORLD - An homage to programming 101. In a way, this game could be like a rebirth of the gaming industry. This may move up the list (it is only here because this is when I thought of it).
4. LIFE - Already taken by the board game, but appropriate nonetheless.
3. GENESIS - Again with the bible refrence, but again with the scientific irony. Also, STAR TREK already claimed this forthe Sci-Fi crowd.
2. GENERATIONS - Actually not inspired by the Star Trek reference before it. This title is a little more desciptive than LIFE, yet too similar to GENESIS to be #2.
1. JOURNEY - Really a long shot here. I may need to rethink this order.
0. ORACLE - Taken by the database gurus and again by the Matrix, this puts he focus back on the all knowing creator / user.
-1. GUIDE - That's what you're doing. Guiding the evolution of your creatures.
-2. WORLDCRAFT - Already taken by the software to make other games. Has the right scope though.
-3. MACROCOSM - Look it up.
