EA is known for its innate ability to spawn countless sequels, packs, add-ons and various other things over a very short period of time, and Spore isn't, God forbid, an exception. A quick tour on the EA Store website reveals Spore: Creepy & Cute Parts Pack, some sort of expansion for the publisher's recent hit, which can be already preordered for the mere price of 19.95 USD.



While I am unsure what this thing will bring to the masses, judging just by its title, a “creature pack” that actually costs this much may not be the best idea ever. But who knows, maybe it has some features that we are unaware of.

September 7, 2008, to be more precise. This is now the official new (tentative) release date for Spore, as announced in the game's first newsletter, signed by Will Wright, that popped into my inbox just now. Ironically enough, Maxis and Electronic Arts even felt the need to make a special teaser trailer for this "joyous" moment. You can watch it right here on Playkon, but there's absolutely no in-game footage, just the above release date. "Thanks again. You'll hear from us soon", he says. The nerve...


Will Wright's message: "check out our launch date teaser".
(Because it's too fucking infuriating when written down!)
