I’d never imagine Maxis working on a ‘dark’ game.  While it’s not a shock for many of us who’ve been following DarkSpore since day 1, the casual gamer who sees this on a shelf may utter WTF.  That is, if they remember the company behind SimCity and The Sims in the first place 😛

It is pretty cool, though!
