Spore!

It looks like Maxis is going to finally give Mac gamers (is there such a thing?) a fairly decent game.

Maxis announced that Will Wright's (of Sim City fame) new game, Spore, will release on September 7th, 2008 for PC, Mac, & Nintendo DS.

I've looked at previews for the game and it looks to be pretty interesting. You basically get to control how your civilization forms, starting from a cell level organism all the way to planet wide domination. With online play you'll even be able to travel to see other people's worlds. I was kind of disappointed that it's not releasing on the Xbox 360, as Xbox Live is probably the easiest to use and more popular gaming network. At least a 360 version is in development.
