So I’ve been a huge fan of Will Wright’s games ever since the original SimAnt and SimCity. When I heard about a new project of his called Spore, I knew I had to check it out. The idea of the game is, as best I can tell, is to carry a species through each phase of its evolution from single-cell to space travel. It sounds incredible.

The game doesn’t come out for several months yet but, as something of a teaser, they released a Creature Creator to play around in. It’s actually really neat, and includes lots of features for showing everyone just how awesome your creatures are. Like automatic uploading of videos to YouTube.

Anyway… this is what I do on Saturday mornings now that I don’t have Law School to keep my occupied. I’m not sure if I should be happy or sad about that. Regardless, you can check out the game here and download a free demo of the creature creator, too.
