I now declare the holiday season open! This week is a HUGE week for gamers! The first big racing game of the season, Need for Speed: Shift comes racing onto shelves this week. Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 is a game that I would consider a must own. Another personal favorite is the sequel to the best sports game of last year, NHL10. Capping things off, a slew of proven console games are making their way to the PC in the forms of Batman, Red Faction and Resident Evil.
So why would I pick a strangely named hand held game for the Release of the Week? Because Scribblenauts is a game that shouldn’t slip through the cracks, but easily could this week. After all, it will be competing against the highly anticipated Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story on the DS. With this big group of heavy hitters, what chance does a cute looking puzzle game have?
In Scribblenauts your goal is to solve 200 puzzles where your only limitations are your vocabulary and your imagination. You solve puzzles by writing words with the stylus. Need to get something out of a tree? Use a ladder. Or a Jetpack. Or a Ninja! The possibilities are endless! There is a huge amount of replay value and even a Sandbox mode if you just want to mess around.
Don’t overlook Scribblenauts this week just because it looks a little too cute. This is a big game that every DS owner should look at. If you don’t have a DS, this is a good reason for gamers of any age to get one.
