Not sure how many people have head of this game, today was the first time I saw it, and I must say i'm quite impressed.
Its like a cross between about 100 game types to create a game which spans from evolution of a small fishy thing right up to colonising the universe in a UFO.
You really have to watch the video to see what I mean.
Im not sure if it is something I would play on my desktop but would be good for my laptop, provided it's not to hardware intensive.
