(Memo to Sega: I would happily pay a fiver for a full nerdtastic Football Manager app that lets me spend the month leading up to the PC release combing through lower-league players and free agents to build a shortlist. You'd do this in a mobile app, then upload the results to the publisher's server, ready to download to your console or PC when the main game comes out. You could be building monsters, creating an RPG party, tuning a car, scouting footballers, or designing a tennis kit even more retina-shredding than the lime-green effort Rafa Nadal wore at Queens last week. It's a cool and interesting thing to do.īut it got me thinking, why aren't mobile phones being used more for this kind of thing? Pre-release type applications that prepare you for a console or PC game's release, I mean. What's that? It's an app that EA is releasing in advance of Spore itself, which will allow people to design all manner of beasties ready to use in the main game later this year. No, the game itself hasn't slipped again, but the Spore Creature Creator application, which was due to launch today, is now coming out tomorrow. There was bad news this morning for gamers eagerly awaiting the release of EA's super-ambitious Spore.
