Spore Origins Invading iPhones, iPod Touch This Month

EA Games has announced that gamers will soon be able to play Spore on the go with Spore Origins. This version of the game was specifically designed for the iPhone and iPod Touch and will be available later this month. Here are the details for the game from the press release on Business Wire:

Eat-or-be-eaten in Spore Origins! Designed specifically for the iPhone and iPod touch, Spore Origins uses the platforms’ motion-sensing technology to let gamers navigate a primordial tidepool on a quest to evolve. Feast on the weak and flee from the strong through two exciting modes and 35 challenging levels. Pinch, pull, and poke your creation in the Creature Editor, customizing the texture, shape and body parts to improve your offense, defense, perception and movement as you evolve over millions of years.

Owners of the third-generation iPod nano, iPod classic and fifth-generation iPod will also be able to snag Spore Origins. You can get the low down on carrier availability and all that good stuff from www.eamobile.com/spore or go to iTunes to order or gift it.

Personally I’m sort of grateful I don’t own any of these platforms. I’ve been playing Spore for a couple days now and it’s absolutely completely addictive fun. I have a hard enough time tearing myself away from my lap top. I can only imagine the temptation Spore Origins would present on an even more portable format.
