If you’ve been anticipating the release of Spore. If you’ve sat there and watched as the gaming press began to question whether the game would live up to the hype and if it would ever see the light of day. Well today you get your reward, which is to wait even more. But at least you have a goal in sight, because EA has announced Spore will go on sale September 7th for PC, Mac, DS and mobile phones.

”The wait is almost over,” said Maxis genius Will Wright. ”We’re in our final stages of testing and polish with Spore, and the team at Maxis can’t wait to see the cosmos of content created by the community later this year.” Yup, it’s finally going to come out. And not only that, we’re getting that old happy dance feeling in our hearts.

The super sim to end all sims has been in development for years, and the lofty goals of designer Will Wright have been questionable. But despite the lingering doubts, if any man can pull off such an ambitious project it’s the creator of the Sim brand.
