You don't have to wait until September to start creating "Spore" creatures! EA has released a free version and a full version ($9.99) of the "Creature Creator." The online sharing features are active and waiting for you.
Halle lost her job as an interior designer. She'll have to start from the bottom by decorating homes on a small budget. Halle will need your help, of course! The customer has a list of requirements (some optional) the room must meet. You place select furniture and pictures for all types of rooms.
"Eye for Design" is not a difficult game to learn. The puzzles of the best furniture to buy and their placement are quick and entertaining. You won't find a complicated decorating game with "Eye for Design." I can easily see a sequel with the smaller details to step it up to the next level. The demo comes with a 60 minute time limit. Just enough time to get done the tutorial and to get sucked into the game.
