A post on Relicnews has news that the Impossible Creatures Stress Test, previously only available to registered users of FilePlanet (story), has now been opened up to more widespread distribution. Here's word on the game's planned full release, as well as more on the test, which requires an internet connection due to the DRM software included: "The Impossible Creatures (IC) Multiplayer Stress Test contains the tutorial, a skirmish mode, animal combiner and online play. This test contains 14 of the 51 creatures that will be available at release. This beta test is scheduled to end on January 2nd, but can be freely distributed until that time. The final version is scheduled to ship to stores on January 7th." The file is available from 3D Gamers.
