Much like Life evolving from the primordial soup, information on Electronic Arts biology-simulator Spore continues to evolve, going from a less complex to a more complex state. Today's info: The Creature Stage.

Gaze in wonder at the above shot of creatures walking on land for the first time. According to EA:

You begin Creature Stage as a simple organism which has just sprouted legs and wandered onto land for the first time. This stage takes place on a 3-D world filled with lush plant life and life forms of all shapes and sizes. Gather DNA points as you interact with other creatures either socially or aggressively. Collect new parts, then use the Creature Creator to spend your DNA and expand your creature’s abilities. Discover countless new species as you explore your strange new world, all of them created by other players. Depending on how you played Cell Stage, your creature will begin Creature Stage with one of three super powers at its disposal. It’s a race of the species to become the first sentient creature on your planet!

We'll have a full gallery soon... but for now, we have a question: Is Spore going to be an awesomely fun game when it comes out on every conceivable platform this fall? Or are we all headed for disappointment and pain?

BTW: The creature creator demo comes out on June 17th for PC and Mac. Here are the screens, and you can click the cut for a video!
