Spore

Spore
The story that I wrote about is called “Just Had to Shout This One Out.” It is about a video game where you create a one celled organism and as you eat other thing you grow into multi-celled organism. As you go through the game you get stronger and try to create a civilization and not get taken over or thrown out of the city. I think that it’s amazing how they created a game that kids can learn from. It shows how this world has come to be from almost nothing to all of this. It such a good concept to show how this came to be because then the kids who play will more understand and possibly do better in science class while they are discussing that topic. In the article David Warlick’s son told him that one of the funniest parts of the game is going back and changing your spore’s characteristics to see if it can adapt to its surroundings. The game Spore to nearly 12 years to complete but it was worth it. In this game you can literally do anything. You can have your creation grown nine arms, make it the king of the world, or even create an under sea city. They should start to create more games like this about different things like maybe you start out a teenager and each hour you play is like half a year and you have to become a army leader and then a king and they set rules for their land and they can take over other lands to get more, then kids could learn about history and government. I bet kids would do better in school if they made games like that that they could play.
