Even if you’re not sure that you like games, you should consider looking into the latest in the a great ‎line of mac games: Spore Creature Creator. Not only is Spore fantastic fun for people of all ages, ‎but its either very cheap or free, depending on which version you opt for. Create your creature, ‎tinker with it until you’re happy, name it, then take photographs and movies of it doing its funky ‎stuff. This is certainly not like other mac games, not by a long shot.‎

The free version is in the form of a free downloadable version. This is not a trial but a full version ‎with around 25% of the functionality of the paid for option. If you decide to pay for the full version ‎‎– and I’m absolutely convinced that you will — then you will be able to pit your creatures against ‎others in an online virtual world or galaxy.‎

A free demo version is essentially unheard of in the mac games world so what the creators of Spore ‎have done here is pretty unprecedented Make no mistake: this is a great deal for those of us who ‎like mac games as well as those people who have little or no experience of them.‎
