He did not watch the telecast @achacko. He got the information off a gaming site. Can't you see the source at the end of the post?

Spore seems very, very interesting. I hope the gameplay is as interesting too when it comes out. I see that F.E.A.R. got an award too. After all, IGN called it scary good
