So the spore creature creator is out. I've played the demo and i liked it, even though i have had very minimal interest in spore.
The creature creator reminded me of Star Wars: Droid Factory (that may not have been the title actually, but it involved building droids), which i enjoyed
IMMENSELY as a child.
So perhaps my liking of the creature creator has more to do with a memory then the game itself, that said however, i still want the full version of the creature creator.
And this brings us to the end of the road fellow Australians, for EA, in there ultimate wisdom have decided that, for some ungodly reason, that Australians do not need the creature creator. Nay, it seems that EA has once again, left us in the dark.
This is where a feeling of
De Ja Vu creeps into our subconscious, and flashes of
Rock Band come before our eyes.
EA must have a strong distaste for Australia for them to do this do us
twice!
Their
'Worldwide Release' was a lie, just like the cake (is it a sin to have a little levity in the face of sheer stupidity?). This is not just a
EA store screwup, i cant even get the creature creator from
direct2drive, any credit cards based in Australia are declined, and anyone whose profile says they live in Australia is also denied. I'm considering getting it via
torrent, and i
fucking HATE piracy!
Oh why EA do you vex us so? Is it because we don't play your shitty
madden games?
Well Done EA, well done.

EA is punishing us because our national sport doesnt require helmets.
CONSPIRACY!!!!
fuck I wanna play rock band.
Fuckin gay...
Damn you EA
Just like your events, you seem to have gotten crappier over the years here in Australia
They still hold a grudge about the war of independence lol.
*mumbles angrily as he is reminded about the lack of rocking out to March of the Pigs via Rock Band*
Then why do Canada and the UK get love from EA?
WHY?!
Bastards!
Theres actually a selection that lets you choose "Australia", but you have to pay in NZ currency. Which is only like 20 cents extra to the dollar.
Still, if they have it available to us on an NZ site, why not have it available to us from the AU store? The same reason games on Steam cost us almost double the price of their US counterparts. The same reason Dark Sector was banned simply due to dismemberment. The same reason GTAIV was edited to include no pools of blood, and the very same fucking reason that we do not have an R18+ rating.
It's because we live in fucking Australia.
Europe gets backhand compliments, not love.
Rock bands prices were fucking ridiculous!
@ SKIRBBLE:
Bad blood between Aus and EA might explain their dislike towards us, but, correct me if I'm wrong, no EA games have been banned here. At least none I can recall.
It seems odd that NZ would get it though.
I don't get EA, and i definitely don't get out OFLC, why cant the politicians just get off their misinformed moral high horses and just give us a R18+ rating.
