Scribblenauts

If you want to act like He-Man, grab a sword and stand on the peak of one the mountains in Valua then stick your sword into the sky screaming "I HAVE THE POWER!!".Then get struck by lightning just like He-Man.

Scribblenauts

It's an adventure/puzzle game where you solve puzzles by summoning creatures and objects by typing or writing it's name. You can apparently summon up just about anything.

There is no way that I'm not at least trying this. Then again, I said that about Drawn to Life and for whatever reason I never got around to playing that.

Bought it, and it's pretty good so far although your character has pretty spazzy controls. The title screen is a sandbox-type area where you can just goof around without having to solve the puzzles of the game proper. I summoned a supervillain and a superhero to duke it out. The superhero won, so I rewarded him with some ambrosia. But since that's the food of the gods, God descended from freakin' heaven to kill the superhero and take the ambrosia for Himself. Then I made a cave, but a bear came out and chased me. Luckily, I had a machine gun. Also: Cthulhu.

The following memes are in it:
Ceiling Cat
Monorail Cat
Longcat
Tacgnol
Keyboard Cat
Weegee (spawns as a generic plumber to avoid copyright violation)
Rickroll (Poor Rick dies rather quickly - just like his career! oh ho ho)
Large Hadron Collider (activating it spawns a black hole that will kill you with no mercy)
and probably others. I haven't heard of Ninja Shark and Robosaur but assume those are from the internet.

Some general advice: Wings are your best friend for navigation. Black Holes are your best weapon. If you're in a situation where the Black Hole might destroy the Starite, then summon God instead, and let him lay the precision holy smackdown upon your obstacle.
