Reality just took a back seat to the gaming world, with user-generated species in Spore outnumbering the variety of living creatures on Earth for the first time.

Maxis, the Electronic Arts studio, announced today that over 100 million different species had been uploaded since it released the Spore Creature Creator in June of last year.

That compares to scientific estimates of between 5 and 100 million species on Earth, although only around 2 million of them have been formally categorised.
