I'm quite saddened that searching for "scribblenauts" in this forum yields no results, so I'm about to change that and make your lives much better.
The game Scibblenauts, for the DS, is about Maxwell, a boy you have to help get to some Starites (Stars). To help him do so, you write anything. That's right, any word you can think of will most possibly be there. And most objects interact with each other, some cool examples:
A starite is on a tree, so you throw a football at it to knock it down.
Or as shown in a video, you can write beaver, and it will eat the tree, bringing it down. Or you could write lumberjack, and write axe and give it to him, which will make him chop away.
Some dude put a panda on a unicycle and gave him a crown.
Yes, a unicycle riding panda wearing a crown. But that's not all, there's also a video of a skateboarding, shotgun wielding God (you can write god) fighting against Cthulhu.
Some other dude had to face off against robot zombies, so he created a time machine, traveled to the past, found a dinosaur, rode him into the time machine and used it to destroy the robot zombies. The game designer even got the game's artist to draw a wallpaper of that.
The game's lexicon is of over 10,000 words, all the objects are physic affected, they have behaviours, etc. Some people try to stump Scribblenauts and fall short, it's amazing. The way this was done was by getting 5 guys check encyclopedias, Wikipedia, dictionaries and all the things you can imagine, for 6 months straight, and making them add all the stuff they could find.
The game creators even pulled the replayability part very good. You can play any level again, but you cant use the same objects you used in a previous play of that level, so you gotta be as clever as possible. Some dude wrote anvil, the glue, and glued it to the starite on the tree. Crazy. The levels are divided in two categories, Action and Puzzle levels. In action levels you can see the starite, but the challenge is getting there. Puzzle modes are levels in which the starite only appears after you do some specific object.
This is an amazing game you should ALL CHECK OUT.
