Will Wright/Spore article in the New Yorker (link inside)

[MGpet]

From the newest issue, a pretty broad piece centered on Will Wright and pretty much the whole story of computer games leading up to Spore. It's a long article, and doesn't say much new about the game, but it's intelligently written and a good read:
