Spore is slated to come out sometime this year (hopefully). Maxis has already released a creature creator, allowing future players to create new lifeforms.

The cool part of this is that the creatures created between now and when the game is released will be included in the actual game. Apparently, these new creatures will populate your first world. As you play, some creatures will inevitably become extinct. When this happens, the creator is emailed saying that their critter is no longer!

Both sad and cool at the same time! I so can't wait for this frakking game...
