SPORE!

[Magoo!]

*raises hand* ooh! ooh! I do! ...convince everyone that 'terrorists' hate freedom & then start taking them all away one by one in the name of security, making sure you do it just slow enough so that the citizens existing apathy will shove it down the memory hole long enough to allow the next generation absolutely no frame of reference as to how life used to be.

A society that will give up a little liberty for a little security will deserve neither and lose both. -Benjamin Franklin.

Or something along those lines.

An as per that registartion thingie... Why do I HAVE to own an internet connection in order to play something I alreay paid for?

You don't need to log into the internet to play Spore. It's just that it logs you into the Sporepedia which will give you access to other player-made creatures, buildings, and vehicles which (I believe) you can choose from as templates. Or just look at their prettiness. Either way they will generate those player-made creations on new planets that you explore. Otherwise it'll just generate a creature randomly for you to annihilate.

So Billy makes Creature A.

Steve invades Planet X and finds Billy's Creature A.

It wont destroy your home planet or a planet that you own, its just like putting your hand in a bag of seeds without knowing which ones they are and throwing them about. It wont kill the Sunflowers or Oak trees that the seeds came from, but they'll still be there.
