The last couple of years within the gaming industry have presented some interesting new ideas on how we play with our environments:

Pikmin
Year: 2001

Katamari Damacy
Year: 2004
Company: Namco
Platform: Playstation 2
katamari.namco.com

Company: EA Games
Platform: PC
www.spore.com

Designed by Will Wright (best known for creating the Sims series), Spore is an evolutionary game that oversees development and progression of a player-generated species across multiple stages, from the molecular phase to that of realizing civilization.
