The Spore report: Murloc sightings
It won't be long until you'll be able to hear the lilting sound of "mgrlllmgrlrrr" across the universe. Spore, the new game from The Sims' Will Wright, which involves creating a species from a single living cell and evolving it all the way through space colonization, is growing murlocs. The official release of Spore's Creature Creator isn't due until Tuesday, June 17, but somehow it broke free early, giving WoW players an early start in trying to create their favorite Azerothian creatures.We got a peek at some of these creations. The little guy to the right was created by a Spore user named Saphirus. If you check the Sporepedia, you'll find some more murloc attempts -- including one by WoW Radio's Duncor. There's even an odd attempt at a kodo (you wouldn't know it except from the description) and a strange looking crocolisk.
[Thanks, Andrew.]

MoonWolf (also a WCRadio Staffer) made this totally awesome C'thun:

Got to love having a WoW Planet in Spore, can't wait to see what all these mobs do when they get raided by The People's Republic of Turpster - Turpamania is going to run wild on these mobs!

I think over on massively.com, someone said that Spore might actually be the WoW breaker mmos have been trying to be. ^__^ Creator creator being released tommorrow (during a wow downtime). Game in September (which is conviently when I will be taking a semester off from grad school because of vacationing). Also, vacationing and travel will mean that I won't have large amounts of time for WoW....but 30 minutes here or there for Spore will be ideal. I can run it on my laptop even!
Do I think Spore will steal me for long? No. But it WILL steal me until Wrath is out.

The more I learn of Spore the less interested in it I become. At this point I'm pretty much convinced it can't possibly live up to its hype, I certainly don't appreciate the cute/cuddly appearance of creatures in the game. That's not what I envisioned when I first heard about this game.
I'm also disappointed that it now appears you design your creatures rather than evolve them; that's what sounded cool in the first place. So, no spore money from me for Will, hope he'll survive. :P

I made a murloc. More like a super murloc, but you get the idea.
