AJ's Anticipated Game: Scribblenauts

If you spell it, they will appear.

If you haven't heard of the upcoming DS game called Scribblenauts, then you're very behind in innovation. Scribblenauts boasts a big claim, if you can spell it, it will appear. No joke. They really said it. That said lets get into what the game is about.

So far what we know is that the game is a Puzzle game in which you must collect something called Starite for whatever reason. The innovation comes with the solving of how to obtain each starite. You literally use your imagination and vocabulary skills to make any item you may need to appear and simply go from there.

I've seen trailers of a starite being in a tree and the player using a beaver in on instance, a ladder in another, and a lumberjack in one final one. So each puzzle will obviously have more then one approach to it. This is actually quite cool if you think about it. Since there's no linear push to what needs to be done, you'll need to flex your mental muscle in order to solve the puzzles. But we all know you'll go back to see how many outrageous ways you can solve each on.

Any game that lets you type in God, make him appear and give him a shotgun to fight a big green monster is awesome in my book. (Check around for gameplay trailers to see what I mean.)

Anyways, the game comes out in September. So if you got the imagination and a DS, look it up.
