Mark writes, "EA only officially announced Darkspore a couple of months ago, promising a sci-fi action/RPG built on the framework of the Spore Creature Creator. Creating weird creatures that lumber into Diablo-style battle sounds like a winning combination."
Darkspore is back on Steam, following its recent removal from the digital distribution service over service issues.
In the wake of the game's removal from Steam, developer Maxis has denied claims that Darkspore has been abandoned, instead announcing that a persistent play-denying issue has been fixed after months of gamer complaints.
GameZone writes, "Electronic Arts has reached out to us to clarify some confusion stemming from a game-breaking bug in Darkspore that resulted in players unable to log-in to the game and its eventual removal from the Steam store."
