The people behind the popular show, “Robot Chicken”, have teamed up with Maxis to create unique content for Spore Galactic Adventures! Take a look at some of them below...

Check out a good look over at Gamespot.

Spore has been a topic of conversation for so long that it's hard to think of a time when people weren't talking about it. The PC version was released in the fall of 2008, and though it was praised for being a great game, it was ultimately too simple for many PC players. According to Will Wright, Spore was designed with a more "casual" audience in mind. Now that a new game, Spore Hero, is heading to the Wii, it might find the audience it was intended for. At an Electronic Arts press event last month in San Francisco, Lucy Bradshaw from Maxis gave us a first glimpse and walk-through of Spore Hero, an open adventure game built from the ground up that puts you in the shoes--or webbed feet--of an ever-evolving creature.

IGN brings us a hands-on look at Spore Hero, the next in the latest in the Spore franchise to be announced, this time for the Nintendo Wii. Find out how the game compares to Spore for the PC!

Eurogamer has taken a a look at Spore’s upcoming expansion, Spore:Galactic Adventures. They note that while it isn't as good as it could be it should breathe some much needed life into the Space phase. Galactic Adventures should be on the top of every Spore fan’s purchase list for 2009. They also talk about the newly announced Spore Hero...

Spore Galactic Adventures primarily expands the space stage of Spore. As well as a spaceship, you play a character - a captain - who is able to beam down to planet's surfaces to complete missions. Basically, you do the Captain Kirk thing, going to a planet with some manner of problem, beaming down, solving it and heading off. As you do so, you can level up, gaining more and better equipment.

Are all of you a Wii player and waiting for for Spore Hero? Well then, you are in luck! The title is now scheduled for a December 31, 2009 release. If there are no delays then the following may be of interest to you:

"In Spore Hero, players focus on creativity and evolution using the unique controls for Wii. The game takes players on an exciting adventure through a beautiful, colorful world based in the Spore universe."

Spore Hero and Spore Hero Arena are Nintendo platform exclusives and have been built from the ground up (so no ports involved!). Here’s a tasty tidbit from Gamespy:

Spore Hero for the Wii takes on the form of a story-driven action adventure where players can create their own hero who must embark on a quest to save its own planet from destruction.

Taking full advantage of the Wii controls, Spore Hero engages players in heated battles, humorous missions, curious puzzles and more. Throughout the game, players will collect more than 250 parts with unique abilities and experience the unparalleled customisation of the revolutionary Spore Creature Creator enhanced for the Wii.

Spore Hero Arena takes on more of the tried-and-tested Pokemon approach which allows players to take their creations into arenas to do battle against each other. WiFi multiplayer support will allow four-player battles to take place.

Players create a unique gladiator Hero creature and guide it from planet to planet as they fight dangerous enemy creatures and complete special missions, collecting new parts and abilities, gaining upgrades along the way. In the quest for combat, they’ll seek out to defeat each local champion and unlock special abilities that will benefit their Hero.

After years of SecoRom, a tool has been designed to remove it! Midfingr from Reclaim your Game has created a program to remove all aspects of SecoRom from your computer. Thanks to SporePrograms which successfully used it on Spore.
