Darkspore - Preview @ IGN

IGN is the first we've seen to preview EA's freshly revealed Darkspore:

The easiest comparison you can make to Darkspore after you see it is Blizzard's Diablo -- a game that's arguably the king of PC action-RPGs. Like Diablo, Darkspore has several classes you can play (essentially a warrior, a mage, and a rogue) and is largely a game that drives players with the promise of greater and greater loot. However, unlike Diablo -- where the loot consisted of things like weapons and armor -- Darkspore awards the players with a series of parts that they can use to evolve their heroes.
