The Spore Creature Creator

Spore is the brainchild of Will Wright- the man behind one of the best-selling video game franchises ever, The Sims. Players begin the game as a small microbe trying to absorb other microbes and eat food. As it grows into a full creature, the player can design the creature and watch it react and adapt to its environment. The game goes from this small, molecular level to a level in which civilizations of creatures are interacting with others. It's received a lot of hype, and it's due out this September. The Spore Creature Creater is a pre-release utility for the game, giving players access to the design utility of the game, which has been pushed to its limits to create many familiar characters. I have to say, these are impressive. Some of my favorites:

Master Chief:


Kirby:

Yoshi(this guy did the eyes really well):

A house(2D genius):

Big Daddy:

Mario Star:

Pikachu(this one's pretty good):

Ice cream!
