E3 10: Super Scribblenauts Preview

5th Cell is aware of the controls. They fixed it. I’ve seen it. Trust me. With that out of the way, the Super in Scribblenauts gives you a hint of the game’s direction.

The studio’s re imagining of a tactical strategy game into a first person shooter have come with a great share of fear, negativity, and skepticism from internet message boards.
