From the "Best Original Game" award at E3 to the incredibly positive fan reception afterward, the general hype surrounding 5th Cell's Scribblenauts continued to build and build right up until its release. I, too, was pumped about the game and was even a bit worried about attempting to objectively write ...

When I first put it in, I was very impressed with how the graphics, and sound came together. It has a very sleek look to its visual style. Scribblenauts starts out with a nice little tutorial to get you started before you start wrecking havock using your broad vocabulary skills . ...

Write Anything, Solve Everything

Scribblenauts is a great, innovative title that will offer tons of fun gameplay, if the controls don't get in your way. There aren't many games with an idea such as this. It's so simple, yet so much fun, and the only limits are those of your imagination. Write Anything, Solve Everything. ...

Nauts-based video games have made something of an impact on our gaming culture. Tim Shafer’s Psychonauts is a universally praised platformer and work of genius the likes of which will always feel like a perennially-underrated underdog, regardless of how much adoration it may receive. Hideo Kojima released a game ...

Here’s a little Nintendo DS number that was quite the industry darling, some heavy flaws are keeping it from keeping that status though. I wanna give it a 10 for it’s concept, but I gotta go with a 7 for the final execution. The Good – Cute puzzler on the ...

Ah, Scribblenauts. I wanted to like you so much. So much. Scribblenauts enjoyed a few months of being an internet sensation ever since its huge breakthrough at E3. Media and fans alike were transfixed by the seemingly infinite amount of items and interactions at their disposal. The hype was ...

Scribblenauts was a game that I had high hopes for because of the completely crazy, innovative way you interact with the game. The slogan "Write Anything. Solve Everything." seems to hold true for the most part. There are a ton of items in this game, and you access them just ...

Like many others, I bought into the hype about this game. When I heard about a game where you have an entire dictionary of objects at your fingertips to use at your whim, I was instantly intrigued. It seems like such an interesting idea but the game ultimately fails ...
