We had heard the N-Gage would be getting Spore Origins sooner or later, but EA was obviously more interested in getting it onto Windows Mobile and the iPhone first. Still, Will Wright’s latest brainchild is a welcome addition to the N-Gage library; Spore Origins is the first stage of the desktop game, where you play a microorganism trying valiantly to survive in a viciously competitive primordial soup which is populated by lifeforms created by other users and shared automatically online. As you evolve, you add more bits to your creature to customize its defensive and offensive capabilities, often resulting in a unique and bizarre specimen. If you dig it, be sure to check out the full Spore game, it’s a ton of fun. Hit up N-Gage to grab your copy.
Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement.
With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.
