I like creation crisis, but I have no idea if that sounds as nice in Mandarin.
Here's my total blast on all the ideas so far. Haiyyyyaa~

全生態模擬器 ("Total Ecosystem Simulator") - Sounds like "Amazing Cultivation Simulator" (yes that is a game), sort of lulzy but OK.
創世危境 ("Creation Crisis") - 創世 (chuangshi) also is the translation for Genesis (the biblical reference). See comment below.
生靈法則 ("Principle of Life") - This and the above name gives me the impression of a jet black box and a game reminiscent of Diablo or something gorey. Or maybe it's Assassin's Creed. This name could also be translated back as "Soul Principle" (see what I mean?). In any case, sounds like an action title. These two titles suggest adrenaline. This game isn't.
我的地球 ("My Earth") - This SORT OF makes sense, now that M$ has translated Minecraft as "我的世界“ (My World). I can see where the logic is coming from, but do we want to portray ourselves as a Minecraft clone?

Think about the name ECO in its original context: ECOlogy, ECOnomy. Green planet.
Ecology/environment = 生態 ("Living / states") /環境 ("Surrounding / Areas")
Economy = 經濟 ("warp and weft of / supporting [society]")
And "Green"(綠色) can be money AND environment...(OK, at least in the American context is money green, that doesn't translate well...)
Also note "global" is 寰宇/環球, which shares the first word with environment...

綠色環球社會 ("Green global society")?
政經寰宇 (Global Economics and Politics)?
綠色寰宇 (Green Planet/Green Global)?
綠色文明 (Green Civilization) << Self Explanatory, but this term is also often used by CCP propaganda to refer to "civilized behavior" as expected of the party. Caveat Emptor.
青色彈珠 (Blue Marble)???? << No please kill this

陰陽 =jinyang = balance and harmony. In the duality, we want to build a civilisation but not at the expense of destroying ourselves, the world we live in and co-inhabit with other lifeforms.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions, after a lot of consideration Ecos name will be:
生态物语 - Tale of Eco
Congrats Dennis, that sounds absolutely wonderful!
