If your favorite TV, Music, Technology and Pop Culture stars could create their own alien life forms, what would they look like? Would they be passive or aggressive? Would they have two eyes or 10? Maxis today announced a new web site that aims to find out.
Maxis has invited more than 50 creative celebrities to design their own out-of-this-world alien species with the Spore Creature Creator.
