EA continues to release bite-sized snippets of information on Spore, the evolutionary life sim due out this September. First up was the cell phase, and now we've reached the creature phase, which occurs after your little critter takes its first tentative steps onto land.

You'll be exploring a lush new world populated by other players' creations, and how you interact with them determines how you evolve, just as how you performed in cell phase determine which of three powers you get in creature stage.

I'm assuming there will be more of these as we slip into the summer months, EA's way of holding up a boom box playing Simple Minds' "Don't You (Forget About Me)" as Spore enters the home stretch.
