Clever DS encourages your inner mad scientist photo

Remember when you were a kid and you had your own "cooking set", complete with burners and tiny utensils? Clever DS is going for that angle, except without the possibility of setting your mother on fire. The game takes a puzzle approach to over 100 laboratory experiments, which we imagine will utilize the touch screen for execution.

While the game sounds like a good idea, I have to admit it is heavily overshadowed for me by the box art. I believe we are supposed to feel that the man has in fact reached true cleverness, because a woman is there looking proud of him. Regardless, it's awesomely odd and I feel pity for the other box art competitiors of 2008, who already at this early stage do not stand a chance.

No release news just yet, but we'll keep you updated on when you can buy the box -- ahem, the GAME -- as soon as we know more details.

The box art looks like a picture from a photo shoot of an internet porn video.

Give up your hopes: It's based on a sometimes fun to watch, sometimes boring German TV show. I don't think that this will be a good game. But maybe it suprises us all and becomes a good game. Who knows?

And these people on the box art are the hosts of the show. Just in case you're wondering. ;)

I agree with MrSadistic. I bet they are both naked from the waist down.

The worst box art award in 2008 has gone just 9 days in.

Did I say poor? I meant porn.

Where's the DS game that encourages my inner mad guy-who-likes-to-tell-people-how-to-get-free-money-from-the-government?

So it's a virtual chemistry set? With no chance of setting things on fire/melting through the floor? In German?

As long as it shows me the hideous results of my experiments gone wrong, I'm all for it!

The game is based on a German TV show. Wissenschaft means science, but Wissen means knowledge and schafft means creates, so it´s a pun.

Be cool if at the end of each round. Some experiement was performed on the girl and with FMV we see the results, like in one she blows up like a balloon. In another she melts. In another she turns green. poof she turns into a chicken. That would give you more incentive hehe.

Surely they'll have different box art for releases outside of Europe? Suggestive psuedo-porn box art might fly in Germany, but no one will take this seriously anywhere else.

Forget the woman, she is a dumb as she looks, but Wigald, the guy on the right is one of the funniest (and smartest) guys on TV.

But seriously, no on in Germany (where I live) in their right minds is going to buy this. I know I won't.
