Scribblenauts stretches the mind

Chris McGinn posted a new blog on Digital Landing! Read about a game that could really make you think.

Talk about a game with some critical thinking skills–Scribblenauts (on Nintendo DS) is a great idea.

What if anything you could think of could be used to help you in a video game?


The premise is simple: Help Maxwell gains starites as he moves through levels–nothing new there. But to solve each level you write a word with your sylus for an object that then appears in your gameplay and acts as it would in reality.

For example, you could write “ladder” and one would appear in the game that you could use to reach something high.

There are 100s of levels and endless possibilities. Coming this fall.

Very clever.
