 The New Yorker : fact : content
The game’s developers, a group of graduate students who were part of the Tech Model Railroad Club, at M.I.T., an early proving ground of computer hackers, had never considered selling the game; their idea was to demonstrate the appeal of interactivity, and to take a first small step toward simulating intelligent life on a computer.
At the first level of the game, you are a single-celled organism in a drop of water, which is represented on the screen as a two-dimensional environment, like a slide under a microscope.
One of the game’s innovations is that, in addition to killing opponents, you can also wound them by shooting them in the kneecaps or shoulders—and if you only wound them you can still extort money from them, and thereby advance in the game.

 Will Wright wows GDC with new Sim - PC News at GameSpot
The treat was an extended demonstration of his next game, called Spore--a sim that allows the players to control life on all conceivable scales--an emergent and beautiful simulation game that ranges from the cellular level all the way to the galactic level.
The game allows the player to begin with developing a creature as a cellular entity and eventually creating a creature with more sophisticated brain functions, which will change the nature of the game to a more RTS-type game (he cited a particular favorite of his, Populous), where players will control herds of creatures.
More so than in other games, he explained, he wanted to create a sense of both ownership (of the unique creatures and civilizations the player creates) as well as mastery (over the interface, which becomes more complex as the game's scale increases).

Its most likely going to be cut from the game so its likely we will see it as an expansion pack, along with new features for game and for your creatures to have.
Turning the space part of the game more like Elite, where you don’t really control the destiny of your civilization but take control of one creature and go out in to space doing various missions.
Just a general expansion to the game that would give more new features like underground creatures, weather control, etc and gives you loads of mission to fulfil like rescue mission of your creature, stopping an invading force, create a planet for creatures and create the united federation etc.

This isn't so much a game preview as it is a look at new thoughts on game design in full effect.
