The most anticipated game of the year (of the past few years) has to be Spore.  Ever since Will Wright (the same guy who came up with The Sims, one of the most successful video game franchise in history) gave a demonstration of the game 3 years ago, people have been anxiously waiting for its release.  In anticipation of its release this September, EA released a standalone Creature Creator.  While I haven’t paid the $10 to unlock all of the features, just the limited free version is enough to get me psyched for this game.  From a technical perspective, this game is just mind-blowing and if the game is half as fun as just the Creature Creator, it’s going to be a monster hit.  

My first creation is the Mars Fly Trap — Not a very original name, I know:

Christina built one as well and so there were definitely two givens: It was going to be named after me in some way and it was going to be orange.  EA built in functions for taking pictures and videos of your creations as well as integrated YouTube upload.
