E3

Scribblenauts looks astounding. It's a DS game and the object is to collect a star. To do so you can type ANY word and the main character will use it to help if it can (for example if the star is in a tree type 'Chainsaw' or 'Beaver'). There are Literally hundreds of thousands of items, all fully interactive. The only Restrictions:
- No proper/copyrighted nouns.
- Nothing "adult" or controversial items.
- Nothing incorporeal. No concepts. "Justice" is not in the game.
- No adjectives. It's not clear if it's no adjectives or just few--you shouldn't expect "baby seal" and "seal" to do something different.
Everything else is in.

See a dev walkthrough here, a user fight on the E3 show floor here and read a great preview here.

Scribblenauts looks really fun. I'd probably lose hours just trying different objects lol.

Definitely one of my most wanted titles for THIS year, right after Bioshock 2.
The rest of my MW comes out next year.

[Inaudible-Whisper]

This year I really want The Beatles: Rock Band, Modern Warfare 2, Halo 3: ODST, Dragon Age: Origins, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Left 4 Dead 2, BioShock 2, Uncharted 2, Lego Rockband and Forza Motorsport 3.

I'm very interested in and will probably buy depending on if they meet expectations: Assassins Creed 2, Split/Second, Brutal Legend, Bayonetta, Borderlands, Alpha Protocol.

Though theres no way I can afford all of that so I'll have to prioritise.

ok, read this:

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 wondering 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.

I really, REALLY want this game
