Freedom is something of a paradox in gaming. The more choice a game appears to offer the player, the more grating the limitations become. This is most certainly the case with 5th Cell's latest effort, Scribblenauts, a puzzle game that challenges you to solve situations and help Maxwell obtain Starites using the power of your vocabulary. However it also tacitly demands that you go out of your way to break the game and try to stump the in game dictionary. Not so easy in a title boasting over 10,000 nouns. Eventually you will stump it, but it will take some effort.
Scribblenauts has long been a series lauded for its wealth of adjectives and nouns. Sometimes, it's astounding to discover exactly how far this can go, and that's why we have gone to the trouble of scouring for the most obscure and curious words that somehow yield results.

Having recently found out about Scribblenauts, the fate of 5th Cell is hard to witness.
the problem of scribblenauts is that it just couldn't work on Playstation/Xbox... Nintendo, PC and Mobile was not enough to support the franchise
Why wouldn't it? Think it would work great with the PlayStation second screen app. Doesn't Xbox have something similar too? Use the phone or tablet to type and the controller to play.
I'm not real sure a 2nd screen is even necessary. I've only played the DC Comics one, but they could have easily mapped all of the buttons from the touch screen to a controller to pull up the menus.....
