Rather than repeating the product description, I shall attempt to convince you to buy scribblenauts with this tale of woah!:
At E3 this year, among a goldmine of games such as Bungie's “Halo:ODST”, “Modern Warfare 2” and the revamped “Monkey Island” series, there stood a little known DS game made by 5th Cell Entertainment (the same guys that brought us “Drawn to Life” and “Locks Quest”).
Scribblenauts, (if you haven't already guessed the name of said game) went on to receive numerous acolades, including “Best handheld game”, “Best original game” and shockingly, “Best game in show.” To put this in perspective, in the 14 years since the first E3, the “Best in show” award has never been given to a handheld title.
I have to admit, at this point I was just as intrigued as I was skeptical. “A game that creates an object from any word in the English language?! What rot!” I exclaimed, in my best toffee accent.
As it turns out, my skepticism was soon to be replaced with a quiet optimism, when I learned that the developers had incorporated over 10, 000 objects into the game's dictionary, and that for six months a team of employees ( presumably the unruly, underpaid, entrance level programmers ) had scoured the dictionary, and sites like Wikipedia, to make sure that any nouns they could think up were put in the game.
They even have keyboard cat for Ra's sake!!!
Composes self
So, for those of you on the edge, I suggest pre-ordering this beasty. Even if it doesn't live up to the hype it has grossed, you have to hand it (and by it, I mean money) to the developers for trying such a radically original concept.
