Over 250,000 creatures were created in 24 hours using the Spore Creature Creator released on Tuesday. That means, according to Electronic Arts' math, two creatures are created for the Mac and PC Universe simulator every second. The total is nearing 400,000 now.
“The response to the Spore Creature Creator has been overwhelming,” said Lucy Bradshaw, executive producer of Spore at Maxis. “The creativity and passion that the community is putting into their creatures is spectacular. The development team has spent the last 24 hours checking out the amazing creations racing in from all corners of the globe – with peak volume hitting more than 1,000 creatures being shared a minute.”
Estimates that over 98% of the creatures created represent human genitalia have yet to be confirmed, as I made them up. At the risk of digression, when I think "User Created Content" I think "dongs," know what I'm saying?
Anyway, bet your own free Creature Creator, and create your own space-weenus-creature, at Spore.com.

One quick question: I see on the tags line at the end of this story that the DS, PC and PS3 are linked, but are those the only three platforms that this game is coming out for (my apologies if this question had been answered previously, I'm just curious on what options I'll have when picking up this game...and if this title will push me to finally purchase a PS3 [as right now I only have the 360 and Wii]).
Ted: Spore has only officially been announced for the PC and the Mac. The rumor is it's going to show up on other platforms though.
Spore is coming out for more platforms. The TAGS are in alphabetical order and only use so many spaces.
Oh, and I think that this story will be the jumping board for the term "dong" being brought back into the mainstream vocabulary (kudos, Mr. Johnson...oh my God! You can use your last name to describe "User Created Content" too! I bet that's the first time you've heard THAT one before!).
You know what? Forget the blackjack!
It's gota be a lot closer to 90%, not 95%.
G4 is the worst sometimes.
