    This will only interest the gaming guys here, but still:
    I don't know how it will turn out when released, but when looking at all the E3 stuff a lot of sites are saying this was the game of the whole show and nobody really knew about it.

    And it's a Nintendo DS game of all things.

    It's called Scribblenauts and you pass each level/objective...by typing in whatever you want to create. The game then gives it to you. I'm not kidding.

    I was reading some of the previews around and it sounds nuts

    Joystiq:
    Here's a video:
    <object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RTEUbtgpIgo&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RTEUbtgpIgo&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>

    I hope this turns out great, because it sounds fun as hell.

    If this turns out as impressive as it looks and sounds from those first hand impressions and video, I might have to go out and buy a used DS just to play it.

    Skip to 10:38 for more Scribblenauts footage...


    <object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xfmzGJA6FRw&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xfmzGJA6FRw&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>


    The list of "things" you can summon just seems too ridiculously expansive to be true...I'm blown away. :eek:

    That looks really fun. Can't wait to see how many obscure characters they crammed in.

    Damn, I'm also compelled to get a DS just for this game. What an awesome concept.

    Wow, add me to the list of people who may buy a DS just for this.

    Nintendo sure is doing a job bringing in audiences who don't traditionally play games. This is another big step in that direction.

    You can probably run the ds version on a PC using an emulator...

    I saw an interview where they said they basically went cover to cover in the dictionary and encyclopedia to find nouns. :eek:

    I guess I don't get it. Seems like it would get old after 30 minutes.
