Scribblenauts - God on a skateboard with a shotgun
This is an action-puzzle game that looks to be badass. I didn't see much on it until it was deemed the "Game of E3" and I'm quite impressed with it!

You can even make God fight Cthulu! So uhh fuck yes you are the greatest. I'm particularly interested to see exactly how big the library of items is! Official Page |
I just like how, when creatures fight, there was some thought put into how strong certain things should be.
The video is a great example-- a jackalope pretty much got one-hit killed by the Kraken, but God came out and started working the shit out of it. |
I've been reading about this game for a while and it's certainly fascinating sounding. The tech sounds marvelous and supposedly works quite well. The only question I have is how it'll be turned into a game worth playing that isn't just spawning a load of random things to see what happens.

See you say that, but LittleBigPlanet has an excellent single player mode, which makes it worthwhile even if you don't bother with any of the creation aspects of the game (plus you always have access to stuff other people have made), but it's a valid point. From everything I've heard about this one it sounds like they've approached it in a clever way, and I believe there's supposed to be a nifty main mode to play-through, but it's what I'd be wary about right now.
|
I'm hoping this game is being supported on the DSi for downloadable content. I'd love to see the library get expanded and additional levels be available for download!
|
Yeah, this one looks awesome. I definately intend to get it. It's so wonderfully weird. I also heard if you do something like Man+Zombie you end up with two zombies or the like.
|
This game recognizes dandruff, motion detector, Compsognathus (as well as Pachycephalosaurus), and tamarind. It's so goddamn awesome.
The only words I have found that are not generated are greaves and estoc. |
I remember hearing that they entered every dinosaur that they could find into the game. Tuesday can't come soon enough. Speaking of which, TRU gives a $15 gift card if you pick it up there, but only on Tuesday.
How did you manage to get it early, GB? |
This game has shark-repellent spray. GOTFY
I tried asking for a boring machine (i.e. a machine used for boring through the ground) and received literally that - an incredibly boring, entirely useless machine. |
Apparently there's a list online of all the words in the game. Someone needs to try "epic fail" and take a video of what happens.
Or "god" and "atheist". |

I'd be even more conflicted if a) all the TRUs in town weren't a bit out of the way from me, and b) TRU's promotional gift cards didn't blow so much, but half off for a new release game is still a damn good deal regardless. |
Just put a preorder for this a couple days ago, so I'm excited for it coming out here in Canada this week! Dunno where I'll be putting the silly rooster hat from the preorder though.
My only (minor) concern is that out of the 22,802 words, many of the items may share identical functions. For example, "match" and "fire" having no subtle distinction, or "chair" vs. "stool". However, I know the fun lies in the discovery of existing objects and in trying to prove if the developers really did think of everything. It'll also be fun to see what kinds of runs people make, maybe using themes for their objects or really out-of-the-box thinking. |

Spoilered because hey people want to find this shit out for themselves. It's absolutely joyous. |
Damn. So many games I want. Between this, Disgaea 2, Muramasa, and Bowser's Inside story there's just too much. ARGH!
|
Oh for the love of. Time is escaping me.
Trying to keep my portable gaming on the go and on the can is getting me nowhere. I've only just a few hours into Chinatown Wars and I also had some intention of giving FF Tactics A2 a good run before this. Now this is nearly out. Maybe it's time to quit my day job and make this life worthwhile. Quote:
There's fire! - Enter any object that could put out a fire. There's a gap! - Fill it up with elephants and giraffes. There's a cliff! - Make a slope from elephants and giraffes. I have no doubt that it will be a blast screwing around with it in spite of it. It will be up to myself not to keep it repetitive. |

I've already had a small play of this game and it's certainly a lot of fun. The way the controls are so simple and the multiple creative ways you can solve puzzles, is going to make this game last a long time. I did have one little funny mishap however
Spoiler:
As for weird words in the game I found "lol wut" "keyboard cat" and "long cat" I'll be sure to look for more when I get the full game for myself, or I give in and get it from the internets... whichever comes first |
Hell, I am stuck myself on the intro screen, imagining things up.
Hell, there's even Hydra, Dragon, Lion, President, Iceberg, Brass Knuckles and Nuke. Best handheld game of the year. |

I've done a few levels so far, but didn't make a whole lot of progress since I kept backing out to the title screen to screw around. My only complaint is the lack of control over the people/creatures that you summon. Sometimes they don't act like you'd expect them to, but figuring that out is all part of the game. |
All my life I've been told that the lion is the king of the jungle.
But the tiger totally kicked the lion's ass. My life is a sham. Seriously though, this game is fucking awesome, and there's no reason not to pick it up if you own a DS. |

Also, for the love of God, if you generate a black hole or destructive wormhole, don't be anywhere near them! Also, there's quite a few easter eggs are in the game. Spoiler:
|
Oh jesus it has both liger AND tigon. They've thought of everything. Even relatively obscure foreign delicacies like lutefisk, durian and balut.
|
They also have Cthulhu, Kraken, Necromancer and Necronomicon (Seriously. Last two against God, Goddess, King, Queen, Princess and Prince).
