1Up just posted a [brief review](http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3162206) of it. The writer says that most of the content is there, now they’re just polishing and probably bug checking.

W00t! Time to start planning my next PC 🙂

And then I go and look at the news, in May EA said that Spore may not be released until after March 2008, I wonder if this still holds? Are they ahead of schedule?

Sigh. Can someone just bonk me on the head and wake me up when Spore comes out?
