That's what Spore creator, the Sims father, game developer genuis Will Wright wants. Speaking at the SXSW festival, Wright outlined how he hopes Spore and gaming in general can serve not only to entertain but also educate.
He believes the interactive drama inherent to video games need not be linear like Hollywood and games currently following the ways of Hollywood are moving in the wrong direction. However it was at the end of his presentation that was the most inspiring.
"One of my real aspirations of this is I wanna see interstellar wars between Care Bears and Klingons."
That is the most illuminating comment I've heard all year. Care Bears vs. Klingons. I don't know about you, but I don't think there is anything in this universe capable of widthstanding a Care Bear Stare.

I'd be first in line to buy that!
I totally agree with Wright. A game with the Care Bears and Klingons battling it out would be awesome. Although the bears would be outnumbered, one Care Bear could easily take down a group of Klingons by him/herself.
Maybe Wright should secure rights from American Greetings and Paramount. I need a game like this.
If you think about it, a game like this could really work. I mean some real strategy could be used since both sides have such distinct personalities and weaponary.
