Timewaster Alert: the totally free Spore Creature Creator is live, y’all!
In case you haven’t heard, Spore is a new game for PC, Mac, and the three major consoles. It’s kinda like The Sims, if The Sims were set in a pool of primordial ooze, and you had to fight your way to the top of the food chain instead of just making your character take regular showers. As you’ve probably guessed, the Creature Creator allows you to create your own little genetic hatchling, modded out to your hearts content. If/when you purchase Spore , you can drop him/her/it right in and commence battling to be the fittest. Think of it as a cutesy, cuddly way to satisfy your inner atheist.
I’m not committed to the full game yet, but, you know, anything to keep me indoors for the next few months is a definite plus.
