Review: Spore Origins (iPhone)

Overview:

Here is a game from the Application Store on the iPhone that caught my eye. I haven’t been too impressed with most of the games that have came out on the application store so far but this one isn’t bad. As most of you know Spore has been one of the most anticipated computer games from Will Wrights’ library for almost 8 years now and it’s finally out. Well for the iPhone they did kind of a dumbed down version which only includes a small stage of the game where you evolve as a cell. But what more could we ask for from an iPhone.

First Ever Pictures of Planets Outside our Solar System!

My theory for how scientists make new planet names, which consist of random capitol and lowercase letters with some random numbers thrown in there, is they tickle a homeless Jewish man while he tries to type with his feet. Take the first twelve or so digits and voila! Planet name!

Anyway, it’s a pretty awesome breakthrough. The fact that we are now able to photographs is, according to Bruce Macintosh, crucial in finding a new Earth, which, according to Steven Hawking, is the only way mankind will survive beyond 200 years. Awesome!
