EA must be very happy with me. Today I pre-ordered "The Sims 2: Freetime" and "Spore." I haven't seen too much about Freetime, exept that it is EP7 for "The Sims 2" series, and that it has something to do with hobbies. Personally, I'm hoping for a scale model railroad club your sim can join. 8)

Spore is an exceeding interesting concept. Apparently, you control an entire race of creatures from initial creation to intelligence. The videos of the game look fantastic. Score another big win for Will Wright! At least, I hope. I have upmost confidence in him, his team, and their creative abilities to come up something that will remain on my hard drive for years!

They are both scheduled to come out around late February/early March 2008.
