The creator of Spore, Will Wright, gives an insightful presentation about his game and what lessons it teaches.

Spore is about starting with a single celled organism and guiding it through the evolutionary process, eventually reaching the point of space travel. Depending on what choices the player makes in the evolutionary process, the player’s organism can die off like the Dodo bird, or flourish like the fish in the sea.

Besides touching on subjects of Darwinian theory, the game also illustrates the effects of global warming, teaching children to think about the long term future.

Definitely a great video to watch, making learning fun, what a concept.The game is slated for release on September 7, 2008.
