I’m so mad at myself!  I removed Spore Islands from my applications block as I wanted to correct a few issues that I’ve been dealing with recently on this machine.  However, little did I know (I don’t do much gaming on Facebook) it would take away all of my data 🙁  Lesson learned, I suppose…

As is to be expected of Maxis games (they are the developers behind The Sims, after all), Spore Islands really is a nice and well made app. If there is any one complaint, it is that the customization was one of the most fun elements in the original game. Nonetheless, Maxis does do their best to circumvent the limitation by adding a few new concepts such as nifty hats and animations (at the cost of DNA), in an attempt to create greater personalization.
