Chalk this one up to functional German engineering. Our wunderbar friends can now look forward to
Clever DS, an upcoming puzzle game featuring a bunch of wacky science experiments. Apparently based on the popular German television show
Clever (featuring Dr. Boning and magical helicopters), the overall gameplay involves using various items in the correct methods (even combining stuff MacGyver-style) to solve puzzles.
Items featured include lasers, hot air balloons, mirrors, see-saws, boxes, balls and magnets. You can arrange these elements together to form chain reactions, not unlike those awesome Rube Goldberg machines. We'll let you know if this crazy DS contraption will be available anywhere outside Germany, because frankly it sounds rather intriguing. Even if the boxart is
incredibly creepy.

Sounds like The Incredible Machine, which was awesome. I'd love to see something like that come to the DS! Let's keep our eyes on this one, if it's anything like TIM, an English port would be amazing.

If this were Engadget or Gizmodo, there would be fifty posts ignoring the game and ogling the blonde woman on the cover. Scanning those threads, you can feel Voltaire giving up on humanity all over again.
If the game were really cheap, I might buy and play it for the absurdity -- especially if I found a German copy.
