- “Name That Game!” contest winner from last week and a new clip.
- Plus some more random thoughts on the upcoming E3.
An alternative explanation to behind doors Spore E3:
If we remember, it seemed like Spore was "snuffed" out from major gaming sites (despite being big news) after GDC (an announcement here or there, but otherwise nothing, except gamespoy).
Possibly EA promised these big gaming sites exclusive (i.e. behind doors) coverage of Spore at E3 in exchange for keeping quiet (thus the major gaming magazines/websites would have the real news about it, giving them an edge over others/smaller sites). But this is just a hypothesis of course. Your thoughts, Steve?
