The trial version of the Spore Creature Creator was put on a CDROM for some UK gamer mag and now it's all over the intarwebs. And lo is it brilliant. Making critters is easy and insanely addictive. I made some!

This one is Jethro.

And this one is Rodney.

Plus you get little icon-sized doodz if you want.

Oh, and there's video. Here's Jethro doing a dance with little miniature Jethros. My god the full version is gonna be awesome with a capital Awesome.

It's not cracked, really. The trial program is to be Intarwebbed tomorrow, but copies were inadvertently distributed ahead of time on a gaming magazine's CDROM. Maxis has disabled the online features (you can't register and login yet to upload stuff) but seems to have said "Eh, well, it was an honest mistake 48 hours ahead of time, no real reason to get too pissed about it." It's creating some nice advance buzz, that's for sure.

And if you really want to play with a clean conscience, the creator standalone is being officially released tomorrow, so you don't have to wait all that long.

So it turns out that I really can't, after all. I tried downloading the Mac version, and it doesn't work. "Cannot run Spore Demo because the file is damaged or incomplete."

Three times I got that error.
