Redwood City, CA – June 18, 2008 – We’re not alone in the galaxy! Maxis, an Electronic Arts Inc (NASDAQ: ERTS) studio, today announced that Spore™ fans and the creatively curious have designed and shared more than 250,000 new alien life forms since yesterday’s launch of the Spore Creature Creator – currently more than two creatures are being shared every second! Anyone can download their
own copy of the Spore Creature Creator or check out thousands of amazing creations from around the world in the Sporepedia at www.spore.com.

"The response to the Spore Creature Creator has been overwhelming," said Lucy Bradshaw, executive producer of Spore at Maxis. "The creativity and passion that the community is putting into their creatures is spectacular. The development team has spent the last 24 hours checking out the amazing creations
racing in from all corners of the globe – with peak volume hitting more than 1,000 creatures being shared a minute."

The Spore Creature Creator is a standalone product and creativity toy box where players create their own unique creatures, bring them to life with entertaining animations, and share them online with friends around the world.
