The final countdown to Sunday’s North American release of Electronic Arts’ long-delayed and highly anticipated “Spore” has begun. Fans in Europe will get their first crack at it on Friday. The baby of Will Wright, creator of “The Sims” — the best-selling video game in history — “Spore” will have gamers spawning their own creatures and societies for many hours. “Spore” takes players on an evolutionary journey from single-cell organism to landwalker; from a tribe to a civilization that eventually takes to the cosmos and explores galaxies.
