SPORE Creature Creator was released yesterday (06/18/2008) and is a pretty cool creation tool. I didn’t really expect too much because well this isn’t a game it’s more of a modification tool for the upcoming and highly anticipated game Spore. Spore Creature Creator proved to be a powerful yet extremely user friendly creation tool that anyone with a PC/MAC and a mouse can sit down and start creating in no time. The interface is very easy to work with since it is using a simple drag-and-drop style. The program doesn’t sell you short on different parts for your creature either. In fact they give you TONS of options as far as customization goes. Are you in the mood for a creature with tentacles? How about giving it 5 or 15 eyes? Tiny or fat? I also enjoyed the fact that you are able to paint your creature with many different unique colors and patterns. The amount of customization and flexibility of Spore Creature Creator is truly amazing. You will find yourself creating creatures for the fun of it, and actually enjoying it for many hours. After you’re done making your creature you can also bring it to life and see how it moves, dances, etc. In literally minutes you can have a creature created and moving around in front of your eyes. I always enjoy sharing things with my friends and fellow internet buddies and if you are anything like me then you will be happy to know you can do just that with the built-in system tools. After you share it you can go to the Spore website and take a look at all of the other creations from other users as well. You can also get your friends or other users creatures and put them in your creator and do whatever you like! This is one tool that truly leaves the creation up to you. The only limit you will experience is your own imagination. Although this is not a game…it is very addictive and a lot of fun to play with. Whether or not you are one of the fans awaiting Spore’s release…this little tool has something for everyone to enjoy.

That’s right! Electronic Arts and Maxis have finally announced a worldwide release date for the highly anticipated Spore game. The Spore release date has been set for September, 7 2008! We are finally getting closer to being able to play this awesome, creative, and unique game. you can expect to see it hit the following gaming platforms: PC, Macintosh, Nintendo DS, and mobile phones. Maxis’ Cheif Designer Will Wright announced “We’re in our final stages of testing and polish with Spore, and the team at Maxis can’t wait to see the cosmos of content created by the community later this year.” This game is truly going to be unique in the gaming industry with its God-like approach. You start out as a single cell on a newly born planet then you basically evolve in the game as realistically as possible. You are given the option to customize just about any aspect of your universe including the creatures, buildings, vehicles, and they have even talked about UFOs! Not only that though, you can share your creation with other gamers and explore other universes as well. This game is going to be a lot of fun, and will most likely sell out fairly quick. If you are interested in this game I would look into pre-ordering when you get the chance! Until then, let’s hope we get to see a demo soon!
