Sunday Comics: Dead Island 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.
If you’re hankering for some Spore fruit fucker action right now, you can always grab the demo, which leaked early. It contains 1/4 the content, but that’s 1/4 more than you’re getting right now.
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 $AU 10.63.
Well, a file purporting to be that demo is on Megaupload as we speak. Now, 191 MB is a huge file just to be bogus malware, but still, we assume no responsibility if this isn’t what it says it is or turns out to be something worse.
Spore releases for PC and Mac on Sept. 8, 2008, with a version for the DS on Sept. 7 and another TBA for the Wii.

newVideoPlayer("OrganicFruitFucker.flv", 506, 423","); You guys seemed to like my horrific take on an organic Fruit Fucker so much I thought you might want to see what the little beast looks like in motion. Sadly, there’s no option to drop an orange… or small child into the circle with your critter. What do you think? Should this be my entry into the Celebrity Spore-Off?
I know Spore’s Creature Creator has been making the rounds for months now, but yesterday was my first chance to get my hands on the thing and go to town on some critters of my own creation.
The stand-alone creator is a pretty straight-forward game. Launching it up brings you to a screen that lets you either create or load your own critters.
Once you drop into the creation mode you’re presented with a floating blob of flesh, elongated at either end with stumpy tail-like or neck-like appendages. When you hover your cursor over the blob it becomes slightly transparent, exposing the vertebrae buried inside. An arrow appears over either stump as well. To shape your creature’s body you tug on the arrows to stretch out the skin along an ever-extending backbone. You can also tug at the vertebrae to try and curve the spine and shape of the body.
