10 Video Games That Gave You God-Like Powers

5. Scribblenauts

Gravity Rush
5th Cell

Oh me oh my. What an incredible game Scribblenauts is. I can imagine that when this title was first pitched, those developing it probably laughed their asses off before stopping and crying when they realized it was going ahead, because the amount of sheer STUFF in this game that you can conjure is ludicrous.

Scribblenauts is a puzzle-solving game limited only by your imagination (and what dictionary the developers had to hand at the time),as you can spawn in countless objects to help Maxwell achieve his goals. However, the ability to summon in nearly anything complete with a hands-off approach to guiding the player is basically a tinder box just waiting to be lit, as you can produce some ABSOLUTELY bananas situations.

For example, say that there is a man who's hungry and needs food. You could just rustle up a pie for him and what do you know, job's done. However, why not summon in a zombie to bite the man and turn him into a zombie as well, then summon in a baby and have him eat the baby... yeah, maybe we should give back these powers immediately.
