One thing to note with Scribblenauts: You have the option to change from handwriting recognition to a keyboard. DO THIS! The recognition is pretty bad. I wrote a capital "N" twenty times in a row and got "l" and "c" and "j"... everything but!

It's a fun little time-passer. No complaints. It's a great idea but there's only so much you can do with a game with so many potentialities.

It DEFINITELY has charm going for it!

Gamers don't want a new Xbox, says exec

Microsoft Game Studios boss Phil Spencer reckons you don't want another Xbox machine at the moment, but is focusing instead on offering a "huge return" on your original Xbox 360 investment.

"And in terms of putting more hardware on the market, what else can we do?

i know it's been said many times over and over but, seriously microsoft ... how about you do one that doesn't break so soon?

is that out of the question?

Have you guys tried the updated Nintendo Channel? I downloaded the update last night. It now has a "High Quality" video option, which looks a lot better, and the menu layout is much improved.

Yeah I checked it out yesterday and I like it much better now. Still the high-quality vids while better then before aren't near as good as what I can get on my 360.

True, but aren't 360s streaming videos HD, though?

Thanks for impressions on Scribblenauts. If TRU had a deal for M&L I would go right now and get it. I will pass on Scribblenauts.

i think someone said that they did.  maybe it was ASK_story.  i seem to remember something about a $15 voucher for scribblenauts, and a $10 voucher for M&L 3.  i may be wrong though

Yeah they will need to do better than that. M&L is $35, $10 off is still $25. Scribblenauts is $15.

Eh doesn't matter, I just got Deadly Creatures for $10 at Gamefly, free shipping this week. Its used but the cover and manual come in perfect condition.  

i think M&L at $25 is much the better value than DC at $10 but maybe you were just looking at absolute values

Ugh those rabbids videos.

This is not a platformer, its a loose wacky driving game. Not sure about it now. What the hell are they doing?

Platformers are waaaay too challenging for Wii owners. Wii owners can't even comprehend such complex games. It's much better to have a couple Rabbids driving a grocery cart around a level instead.

I never did like those rabbids, it's probably the artstyle but everytime I see them I find them just so repulsive.

 I love the artstyle but those first two levels are you running about over circular markers and little else.

Its suppossed to be an open world game. But it looks like a wacky racer with no time limit.

Yeah, I bet they wouldn't be so repulsive on 360, huh?

Just kidding. I actually agree with you; they are repulsive. They're clearly designed for little kids that still find fart jokes funny.
