You want proof that people have far too much free time? Kotakuite Steven dropped us a line this morning to point out that the Sporepdia at Spore.com has just surpassed the one million creature mark merely a week after the release of the Creature Creator. Big numbers, even though we've technically slowed down since…
Sonic, Master Chief, Goombas and, of course, Super Mario have all been added to the Sporepedia, reports MTV Multiplayer. Also in the catalog, Yoshi, Metal Gear Ray (props for at least thinking outside the box there), the Chimera from Resistance, and an ass-ton of Metroids. Super Mario looks like a muppet, and Sonic…
If you can get to the Apple Store in downtown San Francisco (1 Stockton Street) by 7 pm PDT today, you can catch a one-hour demo of Spore - this would be the full bore Spore due out in September - led by the creator himself, Will Wright.

EA is tackling some issues with the EA Download Manager that is causing the full version of the Spore Creature Creator not to show up for some folks who ordered the app for the PC. My copy finally showed up around 3PM Eastern time and the download went fine, but the Spore forums are alight with users complaining of a…

Why is this Spore creature, crafted by PC Zone UK forum user Apophis_dd, so very happy? Perhaps because it's come to the humorous realization that despite how vehemently gamers rail against the supposed sickness of people who dress up like furries or cavort with unicorns in the virtual world of Second Life, given the…
The Spore Creature Creature was officially released earlier today—leaked early late last week—and already we're drowning in penis monsters. Proud members of the Spore creature creating community have risen to the cock-filled occasion, crafting dozens of new lifeforms, all based around having huge schlongs. A quick…

Reader Ben B. preordered Spore Creature Creator through the EA Store and just got word it's been rescheduled for release on Wednesday, June 18. Tuesday was the original drop date. He provided a copy of the email and it looked legit to me, so, spread the word.

Easter Egg discovery is a bit like genetic mutation. Get enough numbers to try some random stuff that's well outside of what they're supposed to be doing, let alone what they've evolved to do, and you'll hit something eventually. How apt that the Spore Creature Creator Demo, leaked yesterday and downloaded by lots…

The plan was to have a Spore Creature Creator Demo, containing about 25 percent of the full library of creature pieces parts, going out to the public around June 17, around the same time as the full version, which costs $9.99.
