Juuuust Scribbling
Posted by Bernadet
While I`m at uni I always look forward to the summer holidays for suuuuch a long period of time. But once they actually start I always long to return to school, since I`m bored out of my mind. Since I still have a (hopefully) amazing week in Rome ahead of me I`m not quite looking forward to returning yet, but the boredom did set in.
To temporarily solve this, I decided to remove the dust and cobwebs from my Nintendo DS and install some new games. Perfectly legally ofcourse *cough*. The first game I started playing and fell in love with immediately is Scribblenauts, of which an image is added at the top of this post. The aim of the game is to help Maxwell (or any other avatar, I`m currently playing with a Ninja and before I played with a Pirate and a Bride) solve problems.
Sounds easy eh? And to be honest, it is actually quite easy but you`ll really get to use your imagination in this game. For example I managed to ride a flying dinosaur while battling zombies a few minutes ago, when the aim of the game was just to get a shiny star from a platform. I just tend to get dramatic and summon up mystical creatures to help me get to the star. Explaining the game is rather hard… but basically you get a ‘task’ and you`ll have to solve it to get the star. One of the first tasks was to catch a butterfly… sounds easy? The problem was that you couldn`t reach it…
The fun thing about this game is that you can summon up anything to help you complete your task, there`s a little notepad which lets you write a word down and the object you spelled will be summoned (this can be anything from a ball to a yeti). So to solve this task you had to summon a flower to attract the butterfly. It`s a very well thought out concept and I`d recommend it to any girl who loves solving puzzles (I`m saying girl because my boyfriend laughed at me when I showed it to him and yelled GAAAYYY (So obviously you can play it Patrick)).
NOW GO KILL SOME ZOMBIES WITH A FLYING DINOSAUR WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH TIME!

I love Scribblenauts! Just wait until Gertje gets in touch with his feminine side, then he will also love it!
