I had played all the big titles at E3. Private showings of God of War III, Heavy Rain, Alan Wake. But at 4:00 on Thursday, I was wandering around the show floor, wondering what else I had to see. I saw a small little booth for "Scribblenauts!" in the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment section. I mean, who goes to that booth? But I remember hearing about it on GAF, and so I decided to check it out.

Best game of E3? Without a fucking doubt. Anyone who says otherwise did not play Scribblenauts. Best game of all time? Jesus Christ, I don't know, maybe. It's a game that challenges your IMAGINATION. No other game has ever done that.

So listen to this story. I was in the early levels; I didn't quite have an idea of how ridiculously in-depth the database was. I was summoning things like ladders, glasses of water, rayguns, what have you. But I reached a level with zombie robots, and the zombie robots kept killing me. Rayguns didn't work, a torch didn't work, a pickaxe didn't work. In my frustration, I wrote in "Time Machine". And one popped up. What the fuck? A smile dawned on my face. I hopped in, and the option was given to me to either travel to the past or the future. I chose past. When I hopped out, there were fucking dinosaurs walking around. I clicked one, and realized I could RIDE THEM. So I hopped on a fucking DINOSAUR, traveled back to the present, and stomped the shit out of robot zombies. Did you just read that sentence? Did you really? I FUCKING TRAVELED THROUGH TIME AND JUMPED ON A DINOSAUR AND USED IT TO KILL MOTHERFUCKING ROBOT ZOMBIES. This game is unbelievable. Impossible. There's nothing you can't do.

Holy fucking shit.


GotY for the next nine years.

I preordered it today.

I couldn't pass up that offer <.< (Not that I didn't plan on getting the game, but I was trying to see if I could hold off on getting it... Clearly not).

It is a shame it is GameStop/EB exclusive. Would be nice if Amazon had it too (my preference), but... meh, it happens I guess.

Lots of exclusive preorders these days at Gamestop. I usually buy from them anyway, never had a problem with their services.

The anti-hype is delicious.

I immediately entered "torch" and it couldn't be done. She then told me to enter "invisibility cloak," which certainly appeared. I asked her why a fictional blanket was in the game but a stick on fire wasn't. She gave me a blank stare and I walked away in disgust.

Response from "Jackson", one of 5th Cell's higher-ups:

Funny, cause writing Torch gives the option of Flashlight or Torch (with fire on top) which has been in months before E3. He musta played the "I wasn't really at E3 but I like to troll about it" version.

It's a cool version, but doesn't have all the features of the real version. :(


Destroyed.

I didn't know 5th Cell ended up responding to that.

Delicious indeed.

Haha that's awesome.

When I went in to Gamestop yesterday, one of the employees (who knows I like 'odd' games compared to the casual fanbases) asked if I'd heard of Scribblenauts and said he couldn't wait for it to come out. At least I'm not the only person in Denver looking forward to it. =)

Scribblenauts was given a 7.0 from Victor Lucas. He said that the game was a disappointment after falling in love with it at E3. He said coming up with ideas was fun but the controls and movement were so bad that he couldn't give it a good score.

Hmm I can't find a link. I just saw them review it on Reviews on the Run, his TV show on G4Tech TV Canada. I'll try to find one but it is some how very difficult.

Wow...it's impossible to find a link. Though I saw it on TV :P Scott Jones from Crispygamer gave it a 7.5, Victor Lucas gave it a 7, and said that the "E3 curse" got to it. This is all true D:

Huh, interesting.

Personally I don't usually give G4 a lot of credit, but I guess we'll have to see.

Apparently RotR reviewed a preview copy of the game, not the final.

They admitted their mistake, and will re-reviewing it.
