Can't wait 'til September for Spore? Creature Creator is out now!
Geeks everywhere are anxiously awaiting the September release of Spore, the species-creation game from SimCity genius Will Wright. Today, everyone is drooling just a little bit more over the release of Spore Creature Creator, the part of the game where you generate the prototype for your new species. Even without the rest of the game, messing around with the creature options is a lot of fun -- it's like the coolest game of dress-up for nerds that we could ever imagine. Creature Creator is available for PC and Mac as a free demo or a $9.99 full version (with all the creature parts). It hooks up with the Spore website so you can show off your critters to others on SporePedia. You can also take pictures of your creations and e-mail them with friends, and take videos to upload to YouTube -- all from within the game.
It's not just building and coloring, though: test-drive your Spore, making it dance, sit, attack and more. This is just about the smartest marketing decision we could imagine, because we're already sort of attached to our Spores. Now we can't wait until September to see what they can do!

Great, now they can charge you twice: $10 now and $50 later.

That's $60.
Typical price of what you'd pay for a brand new game.
If you don't like it, then don't buy the Creature Creator and wait til September or download the trial (it's just as fun).
Just quit complaining about it.
