New York Times: Role Playing at Warp Speed in a Galaxy Darwin Never Imagined

The New York Times reviews the new expansion pack for the hit computer game Spore. 

They say: “The strength of Galactic Adventures is in the rich pool of tools it gives players to create their own scenarios. The basic visual style is goofy and kid friendly, but there is nothing stopping you from creating an evocation of the infernal regions. Players can shape the landscape and place buildings and creatures.
