Above is my creature “Pwnie” (you know, like Pwn?) that I created.

I’ve been talking about Spore for the past few weeks and there were very few people who hadn’t heard of it yet. Mostly because this is one of the more anticipated games that has been in development for the past few years by The Sims designer Will Wright.

The basis of the game is modeled around developing a species from single cell organism to a complex creature. There are several phases in the game in which you develop intelligence and interact with others. It feels like a cross between interaction of The Sims, object creation in Second Life and a bit of World of Warcraft on the side.

Right now there a contest going on with Celebrity Spore (Sporelebrity!) characters. The winner receives $15,000 to donate to their selected charity.

I chose The Frozen Pea Fund so head over to sporevote.com, click on my face, and then click the I LIKE IT and rate it on YouTube! That’s it!

Another thing that I thought was pretty funny is that the mainstream Celebrities are lacking the votes and views that the online personalties are getting (Ze Frank looks to be winning so far). I must say that I do enjoy being on the same page as Joey Fatone and Stan Lee. Oh, and Mandy Moore is pretty cute too. :)

The full game will be released on September 5th for $49.95. The Creature Creator version is available RIGHT NOW. So, get over there and download a copy and show me your creatures! Feel free to link them in the comments and let me know what your thoughts are on the game so far.
