From slashdot.org:

"Ars Technica heralds the coming of the creature editor for the highly anticipated Spore. A previously promised downloadable demo of the creature editor from the game, due on September 7th, will be available June 17th. Furthermore, a full version of the creature editor will appear as a standalone product at the same time for $10. According to EA: 'The demo lets players shape, paint and play with an unlimited number of creatures, using 25 percent of the creature-making parts from Spore. Gamers can then share these creations with their friends, including seamless uploads to YouTube.'"

Certainly worth the editor download when it's released to see what it's like.

Why release the full editor and charge USD10 for it though when the games not even released so you can have a play with your creation ?

I think the general response I got is: Most of the people who'll pay for the creature editor will be the ones that ONLY play with the creature editor.

Besides...I think Maxis would like a large database of creatures available for content downloading when the game is released. This is the way they're going be able to populate your world with almost infinite variations from day 1. I guarantee you that many, many people are going to download and build at least a couple characters. 500k downloads x 2 characters created per download = an easy 1 million unique creatures (not exactly infinite..but close.)

Half Life 2? Not many others me thinks.

Yep...HL2.

Don't forget Team Fortress 2...long before HL2. Something like 9 years in development, right?
