Spore has now been patched and in addition to the usual bug fixes we have been treated to a number of odd new features. For example there are now “New Cheats” which allow for different display modes for your creatures and various other odd things. It’s hard to imagine in any modern game getting new cheats included with patches but we live in strange times. There are also a lot of graphical improvements and general tweaks included. The patch is 92.16MB (version 1.01) and can be found on all good download websites like Fileshack or Gamershell.

It doesn’t appear to be an essential patch at the moment so it might be best as classed as a “if you have a problem get it” type of download as while there are fixes included to sort out some crash bugs there are not many bonus features that the masses would want to try out. If it’s your thing however, take a look.
