Looks as if news on the upcoming Spore projects won’t resume until next year, pity. But not all is bad, Spore is still going strong with its many contests taking place. MaxisCactus kicked off a new one earlier – Maxis is teaming up with Battlefield Heroes to bring you the Wild Pet Spore Challenge! The contest is simple – to sum it up all you need to do is create a real-life based creature that is small enough to sit or stand on your shoulders. Think you’re up for the challenge?
