Spore: Galactic Adventures details emerge
Remember Spore? The game that everyone thought was going to change the way we looked at the gaming industry in general? Yeah, well EA has finally taken the time to reveal some details regarding the game’s Galactic Adventures expansion that was first announced back in January.
In Galactic Adventure players will take the rank of Space Captain as they adventure the galaxy (ironic huh?) unlocking and collecting 30 new “game-changing items and accessories”.
And what’s a game without some sort of achievements, right? Players will be given a Creature Card, that showcases their ranking and accomplishments.
Yep, that’s all we have to go by for now, no release date or pricing.

LEGO Rock Band details emerge; destory giant robots with “killer riffs”
When we first learned about LEGO Rock Band’s existence earlier this month I’m sure the majority of you rolled your eyes at the announcement. Well guess what, you get to roll your eyes again!
Microsoft has recently listed the game giving us a whole slew of details. Other than being able to customize everything from your band and manager to a LEGO themed “rock den”, you’ll be able to “play killer riffs to destroy a giant robot, summon a storm, and demolish a skyscraper using the power of rock!”. WOOT!
Honestly though, it’s obvious that this game is being marketed towards kids considering the LEGO theme and addition of an easier difficulty setting (as if easy wasn’t easy enough?) for “budding musicians.
LEGO Rock Band is currently in development over at TT FUsion and will be released for the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, and Nintendo DS later this year.
