Another chance to have a gander at Will Wright's latest brainchild, soon to be available to Nintendo DS users.

Maxis' "everything simulator" is perhaps one of the most ambitious videogames to be developed for the PC yet. And while PC users can get their paws on the game very soon, DS gamers are not to be left out in the cold, with Spore Creatures being released on the same day.

More of a sister title to the PC version, Spore Creatures lets the player access all the features of the Creature Creator from the main game, which many gamers already have proved is the most addictive thing since eating bread.

Both games are due out in Europe this Friday.
