Spore? What platform is that on?

PC and it has some really nasty DRM which means you can only install it 3 times before it goes crying.

I was going to buy it but the DRM made it a total no no for me.

Ah, thanks mate

pc and mac

as for only installing it 3 times i hadnt noticed that..... but not sure why its a major prob....

Everyone makes such a whinge about DRM.... you install it, it lets you play without the DVD..

so you have more than 3 machines you will want to install it on?

I bought it in the hope of trying to get into it, but its not my kind of game... cant multi-task well enough

I forgot about this. You got it Col? Can I borrow it and have a go? lol!

No!

I install it on my PC, play it for a bit, the PC dies so I have to reinstall it.

Then when I come to a point where i don't want to play it any more so uninstall it.

A few months or more later I want to play it again so I reinstall it. I then get a new PC and want to put it on that and I can't play it any more due to the DRM.

Now what happens if the licence server goes away, I can't install any more.

Why when I am paying for a game should I have to put up with this? If I was to pirate the game I wouldn't have to deal with this issue as the DRM is removed.

Is it like a Sim City type game where you have to develop a race of creatures to intelligent lifeforms? I'm too disorganised for games like that. I'm OK with adventure, or FPS, or even simple strategy, but I'm no good at playing God.

It's more like civilization with creatures from what I was reading.

i got a java version on my phone which is quite addictive and swmbo bought it for the ds which made me go and buy my own copy as i kept playing hers. great little game, crap graphics but keeps me occupied for hours.
