Venturing a bit to the sidelines, we look at Spore from EA games. Here’s what the PR content says about it:

”Populate the Spore universe with a simple-to-create animated creature which EA will put on leading digital networks for audience voting.”

Spore, a video game created by Will Wright (The Sims and Sim City), welcomed about 50 celebrities to the break-out contest. Among the “names” were: David Lynch, Elijah Wood, Richard Branson and Mark Cuban. Some of the folks from the Digg Web site were involved as well.

Currently, visitors to the Spore site are greeted by a menu that allows communication in a number of languages. Spore is not only designed to be compatible with PC and Mac, the Web site offers it to phone and iPod owners as well. Visitors to the site can give the “Creature Creator” a try simply by going to the page that offers PC and Mac versions. Download times vary from 5 minutes to 19 minutes, depending on system capability.

What is Spore? The answer might be best answered by quoting the site’s description: “Create and guide your creature through five stages of evolution.” Games currently available include Spore, Galactic Adventures, Spore Creature Creator, Creepy & Cute Parts Pack, Spore Creatures, Spore Origins, Spore Hero and Spore Hero Arena. Prices for original Spore range from $35 to $50 at retail stores.
