The latter is more likely, of course. The name “Darkspore” has shown up in three separate trademarks filed by EA recently. This could easily be the to-be-announced Spore title that EA mentioned they’d be releasing in 2011 in a recent financial report....

Gamer identity: Fanboys, tradition, and perspective

Sega kids versus Nintendo kids I grew up as a Nintendo kid, through and through. From the very first time I laid eyes on a Nintendo Entertainment System at a Sears at the age of four, I wanted to be a part of that world.
