THIS makes me want a Nintendo DS:
"The premise of [Scribblenauts] is quite simple and basic. There are short individual levels, each with a puzzle that needs various objects, switches, buttons, tunnels, and other things of the sort to be used in order to solve said puzzle. Every puzzle has several ways it can be solved, as well; at least 4 unique combinations for each puzzle, in fact.
This is where the fun kicks in: to solve these puzzles, you can call up just about anything you can think of, out of thin air. You simply tap on the notepad, and write the name of an object. It can be virtually anything; there are tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of variations (a list was leaked of about 28,000, but 5th Cell said that’s a very short list); as long as it’s not a vulgarity, a proper noun, or a licensed product, you can will it into existence.
For example, an early puzzle has ... the item you’re always trying to get ... up in a tunnel on a platform, blocked by a metal box. You can get up to the platform using a ladder, or a trampoline, or rocket boots, or a jet pack, or a pogo stick, or by jumping on a Kangaroo’s back and having it jump up there, etc, etc. Then you need to move the metal box. A magnet, a small explosive, a lever, a rope, there are plenty of ways to do it big and small ... This game is 100% about imagination, and that’s what makes it so much fun."
Sounds like a blast.
