This action RPG is a Diablo-like game, which will see you creating a squad of genetic warriors to battle the Darkspore. Creating unique genetic warriors looks like one of Darkspore's more interesting features, and as well as the single player campaign there will be online player versus player matches too.

While most games like this are dungeon based, Darkspore's sci-fi world looks much more like Starcraft, and each world you find while hunting the Darkspore will have unique flora and fauna. Before you land on a new world, the Darkspore will be scanned so you can prepare your squad tactically to take advantages of any weaknesses.

While the Diabloesque action gameplay should make for a lot of fun, it's the Spore-like creature creation and evolution that make it interesting. Where as Will Wright's creation game took a promising idea but then failed to really make good use of it, Darkspore could be much more successful.

Mixing creature creation with action RPG gameplay makes Darkspore something to watch out for. The developers are promising accessible gameplay with an AI director, as seen in Left 4 Dead. This should make for exciting, dynamic gameplay that responds to your abilities. Check back for our full review soon!

After establishing a turning point in the history of videogames with The Sims, Maxis is back to present Will Wright's new project: Spore.

This never-ending wait has created an enormous hype around Spore that we can now luckily soothe down a bit with the Spore Creature Editor.

That said, and despite being only an editor, this demo is surprisingly fun.

You can customize every single detail: body, arms, legs, eyes, horns, anything! Of course, this demo doesn't include all the elements available in the complete game but still, you get the idea.

You can even generate a baby-sized version of your creature to check how your descendants will look like.
