Spore Gets Dated
It looks like we know when Spore will hatch. (Do spore hatch?) EA announces that Sep. 7 is the date. Which marks another delay for the game. Will Wright's long-in-the-making first big franchise after The Sims is still generating a lot of buzz of course, so I doubt this one will ever mutate into vaporware as Wired has suggested a while back.
