If you're bored with all the unicellular screenshots and videos of Maxis' upcoming life simulator Spore (PC, Nintendo Wii, DS, Mac, and Mobile), then feast your eyes on this latest trailer for the game. It features one of the more advanced stages in the game, where your beloved life forms learn one of the more "civilized" forms of social interaction: war.

The video also features Producer Kip Katsarelis and Software Engineer Soren Johnsen as they explain how the civilization stage of the game works. The phase will feature different diplomatic actions that your life forms can take, such as building new cities, trading with other civilizations across the planet, and even waging war against them.

Anyway, enough talk. We'll let you check out the new trailer for yourselves and tell us how pumped up you are with its release in a little more than a week's time (we know we are).
