Microsimulation of Road Traffic Flow. StarLogo on the Web. World Debut: Scribblenauts - Nintendo DS Feature at IGN. Share. A concept so unique you have to see it to believe it. We talk with the creator, give first details, and show off first ever screens and video. By Mark Bozon Ever since the review of 5TH Cell's action/strategy game Lock's Quest, we've been waiting to get the first information on their next project. We expected something along the same lines as those two, either running with a sequel to the very successful Drawn to Life, or perhaps taking another unique approach to RPGs or strategy titles like Lock's Quest which released earlier this year.
What we weren't expecting, was Scribblenauts. As an extremely unique and amazingly ambitious game, 5TH Cell's latest offering has instantly gotten us talking around the IGN offices, and we're sure it'll do the same for you. And while we'd love to try and explain Scribblenauts to you, it's going to be a whole lot easier to show you what the game is all about.

By Harvey Smith Abstract As an art form, immersive games are in a transitional state, currently positioned on the cusp of something almost unrecognizably different. Future games will employ deeper simulation in order to achieve far greater levels of interaction and complexity, while simultaneously simplifying the learning curve for new players. Most game environments of the past have been based on crude abstractions of reality, limiting player expression and requiring users to learn a completely new vernacular in order to play. The games of the future will rely heavily on much more complex, high fidelity world representations that will allow for more emergent behavior and unforeseen player interactions. Taken together, these next-generation design paradigms are not simply improvements over older models, but represent a fundamentally different approach to simulating real-world physics, handling artificial intelligence and interface usability.
