Game companies wised up to this and stopped allowing people to rent out PC games.

I loved Canon Fodder!

Well, I got it when it came out and heres my impressions:

I really like the cell and creature stages mainly because the creature creator toll was awesome and the game just had alot of charm.

Tribal, civ, and space stage, though, are horribly horribly dissapointing given how high expectations were. I just got through tribal and civ as fast as possible since they're essentially oversimplified RTS games. The space stage is better, but IMO just a simplified space empire building game that does not compare to some other space games like Sins of a Solar Empire

I feel that the game's replayability is entirely in the various creators, which unfortunately mean that it probably won't have a terrible amount of replayability for me as compared to some other games from Will Wright like the Sims/Sims 2

My friend (who is actually a reviewer for a few sites) says that Spore aint half bad. He says that the cellular and space stages are excellent, the rest is disappointing. And since we have pretty much the same tastes in games, i'll most definitely get it.

I've also been doing some reading, seems idiot monsters from the planet 4chan are making quite a dint. There was a thread yesterday on /v/, with someone screaming 'god damnit 4chan, this is your doing'. I clicked on the picture and some guy's village was being attacked by a giant creature, shaped into the word 'lolcats'. My friend also told me that he ended up being attacked by a fleet of Emperor Penguins, once again courtesy of 4chan...
