Scribblenauts DS pits Kraken versus God
June 22, 2009 by Mike
Scribblenauts lets you summon 10,000 objects.
How’s this for weird: Scribblenauts, an upcoming game for the Nintendo DS, has been selected by three major game publications as—get this—the best game overall for E3 2009. Scribblenauts edged out console giants like Mass Effect 2, Uncharted 2, and Splinter Cell Conviction, among others. What exactly is so special about this DS game? We’ll show you why in a recent E3 video.
Scribblenauts is a side-scrolling game, but you’ve seen one before. What makes Scribblenauts special is the protagonist’s ability to summon literally tens of thousands of objects, as you can see in the video. Summoned objects range from weapons, animals, forces of nature, famous people, and internet memes like the Keyboard Cat.
And yes, even God.
No wonder the game publications went nuts. Expect Scribblenauts to be available for the DS in September 2009.
