  1. World Of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King / Blizzard / $40 (average)
  2. Left 4 Dead / Valve / $46 (average)
  3. Call Of Duty: World At War / Treyarch / $50 (average)
  4. The Sims 2 Mansion & Garden Stuff / EA Maxis / $18 (average)
  5. EverQuest II: The Shadow Odyssey / Sony Online Ent. / $50 (average)
  6. Spore / EA Maxis / $49 (average)
  7. Fallout 3 / Bethesda / $50 (average)
  8. The Sims 2 Double Deluxe / EA Maxis / $20 (average)

Every time I lok a t spore, I see its potential, ad realize how far short of it it came because of the wrong reasons.

I find it interesting that so many people on xspore like to say that Spore sucks simply because they don't like it. Is it what many of us were expecting? no. But is there fun there anyway? yes. But Spore doesn't ram the fun down your throat, and yes, I'd agree that it can be hard to find. However, it's a Maxis game, and the way to find the fun is similar to Sim City or The Sims, it's where the story in your head meets the gameplay on the screen. In other words, if you didn't like them, you're unlikely to like Spore. But that doesn't mean the game sucks. *shrugs* *burns his soap box*

Spore is also one of the top ten games to be pirated the most, and was pirated at least about 1.7 million times.

Spore may sell welll, but it is not a good game. I am still here because of the chance that the expansions will improve Spore.
