Spore. Its the game you get your girlfriend into so you have time to go play something more... serious. Or maybe your kids. If it was a Sims game, it would be considered light. Its certainly not at the level of a Sim(fill in the blank) game. I'm just flabbergasted that they spent that much time, and produced that much hype, yet have so little to show for it. It is, in a word, shallow.
I am going to go back to shooting aliens and saving colonies from asteroids.
