It's so rare that a game can coax a genuine, non-sardonic smile from a cynical and jaded gamer, but 5TH CELL is doing its best with Scribblenauts. You all know about the game by now, and you all know that nearly everybody in the gaming media is fawning over the thing like it's a newborn golden baby. It's safe to say that critical success is in the bag.

Will commercial success be soon behind? I really hope so, and I hope Warner Bros. actually puts some marketing weight behind this. We bloggers can only do a publisher's job for it so much. Anyway, check out the new screens and watch the video after the jump. September is seeming a long way off right now.

Wait, you can create a medusa, cut off its head and then use it to turn giant enemy crabs to stone. That is amazing.

GIGGITY GIGGITY GOO!!

i'm with you mario actually... i really really really hope that this game will be ported to the PC, or maybe even the standard 3 consoles (or at least using keyboard/ps3wand inputs with the ps3, and then wiimote/natal with the wii/360), but something tells me that it's probably going to take a looong time if they do such a thing.

I took that as a challenge and watched the trailer with a cynical blase attitude. I was grinning like an idiot within seconds -_

My only hope is that I don't get the game and then sit there going "ummm...think, dammit! Errrr.."
Gonna need creativity levels at 10 for this beauty!

Every Scribblenauts post results in comments that amaze. I talking about people that don't have a DS. You guys are missing out!

Summoning a giant crab to battle a bunch of samurai? Heh.

The coolest part was the medusa though. Being able to produce it one thing, being to able to cart around its head after you kill it and turn stuff into stone is just sheer brilliance. :D
