For a while, puzzle-sequel Scribblenauts Showdown was one of the industry's worst-kept secrets. Now, just like that, the game is ready and waiting on multiple platforms, with publisher Warner Bros. releasing a launch trailer as a gentle rem...

After numerous ratings board reveals and even a Play-Asia pre-order page, Warner Bros. have finally officially announced Scribblenauts Showdown, coming to consoles this March.The word-based platform-puzzler will feature all new party modes,...

At the start of December, the Taiwan video game ratings board classified an as-yet-unannounced new entry to the dormant invention franchise, Scribblenauts, which is apparently being developed for PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Well, fur...

It's been almost five years since the last iteration of draw-to-solve platformer Scribblenauts saw a release. For fans of the intuitive puzzle series, some new information out of Taiwan may be cause for celebration.The Taiwan Game and Softw...

After the announcement this morning, I was interested by the ideas that Next Up Hero was tackling. Death really has become kind of pointless in modern gaming, so why not turn that into a game mechanic? That it was aiming at being a beat-'em...

I've always found it odd that more games don't do interesting things with death. Dying tends to just set you back a checkpoint or has you replaying entire levels, but some games introduce cool gimmicks. Super Time Force was one of...

It feels like 5th Cell never really caught on after Scribblenauts. It had a string of 'naut ports, but Hybrid didn't hit it big, and neither did anything else, for that matter. Sadly, the studio has announced that it has let 45 people go to...

I was ready to eat crow at the very beginning of the Anchors in the Drift crowdfunding campaign. After wondering aloud if the general public would get behind paying sizable chunks of money for a free-to-play game, it opened strong with over...

When I hear "5th Cell," my mind goes to the good times I spent with 2008's action-tower defense Lock's Quest or 2009's creative puzzle platformer Scribblenauts. Those were cute, inventive 2D games. I definitely don't think of Hybrid, whose ...

When they announced that the next Scribblenauts game would include characters and settings from the DC Comics Universe, I was excited. That's a lot of history to pull from, and with Scribblenauts' reputation of including tons of things you ...

I took a break from the crowded show floor of San Diego Comic-Con to relax for a bit with the latest build of 5th Cell's upcoming game, Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure. Scribblenauts has always been one of those games that's e...

Maxwell and Lily's next Scribblenauts adventure sees the pair venturing into the DC Comics universe through the power of their magic notebook. The siblings love comics, and the whole reason they even want to enter DC's universe is to see w...

Warner Bros. and 5th Cell are being slapped with a lawsuit (story via NeoGAF) over the inclusion of a pair of Internet memes in Scribblenauts Unlimited. Both the infamous Keyboard Cat and Nyan Cat can be summoned into the game by typin...

The next Scribblenauts, tentatively titled Scribblenauts Unmasked, will take place in the universe of DC Comics, including characters like Batman and locations like the Batcave, IGN reports. The title is for PC, Wii U, and 3DS. Unmasked ori...

When assessing a publisher's impact on the industry, we tend to focus on the highs rather than consistency. THQ was anything but consistent, putting out Nintendo DS shovelware, rushed licensed games, and taking part in one of the absolute w...

The problem with a game like Scribblenauts is that the promise of boundless freedom comes with strict boundaries. A game that promises you can conjure any item in existence to solve puzzles can be broken pretty simply in a world without rul...

Judging from the opening, it looked like Shawn somehow already owned Scribblenauts Unlimited on 3DS, so 5th Cell co-founder and Scribblenauts creator Jeremiah Slaczka was just wasting his time. Either way, it's always fun to see industry f...

Exclusive to the Wii U version of Scribblenauts Unlimited are characters and items from Mario and The Legend of Zelda, as shown above. But you already knew that, didn't you? Either way, the fun is in seeing these characters drawn in the Scr...

Third-person shooters are a dime a dozen. From games like Gears of War to the recent Spec Ops: The Line, cover tends to play heavily into the combat, but you'd be hard pressed to find one that fully revolves around cover as not only the tac...

[Update: 5th Cell dropped us a line to let us know that the server problems have now been resolved and Hybrid will be available again on Xbox Live Arcade tonight stating that they, "expect a smooth gameplay experience from here on...

5th Cell CEO Jeremiah Slaczka is frustrated with the console war and the way in which systems are ranked according to power. Nevertheless, he has stated that the Wii U is definitely more powerful than either the Xbox 360 or PlayStation...

Here's a quick look a Scribblenauts Unlimited. It feels like the game will truly let you create whatever you want, however you want. There is an object editor, a huge array of recognized adjectives and nouns, and a handy auto-correct syste...

[Update: Contest over! Check your PMs in the next hour if you were one of the first 50!] We got to play 5th Cell's new XBLA game Hybrid earlier this week, and what we saw really impressed us! The sci-fi shooter features a unique b...

Historically, 5th Cell is a company known for fun and incredibly innovative games that skew towards a younger audience, such as the surprisingly deep Lock's Quest and the award-winning and beloved Super Scribblenauts (both for the Nintendo ...
