In 2008, Maxis came out with the revolutionary game Spore. Maxis did so many things right on their massively single player simulation game. Darkspore is loosely based on the first game, and fans of the original should not expect a similar experience in the sequel.  Darkspore, which is set to release March 29, is a "a fast-paced, sci-fi Action-RPG."

In Darkspore you lead a squad of "living weapons." These creatures were created by the Crogenitors, an advanced race who experimented with DNA. Crogenitor Zelem discovered E-DNA, capable of millennia of evolution in a matter of hours. This E-DNA was unstable and spread rapidly across the galaxy creating the Darkspore. The Darkspore began killing the crogenitors. Eventually all but a few of the Crogenitors are killed. Those remaining few froze the "living weapons" so that they could later defeat the Darkspore.

Sucker Punch's forthcoming title Infamous 2 has a beta set for April 12th. If you're jonesing to get in on the action and you reside in the U.S., all you have to do is head over to www.infamousthegame.com. Once there you can direct yourself to sign-up registration.

March 21st marks the end of the sign-up period. Winners will be chosen at random and emailed shortly there after. As a note for gamers outside the U.S., no worries, Sucker Punch has promised other territories their own betas as well.

The interesting thing about this beta, however, is that it will be centered around mission creation. And such a creative task will be quite rewarding. Sucker Punch will chose the best created content to spotlight front and center when Infamous 2 launches stateside on June 7th. Good luck, gamers!
