Have a trailer for Wonderbook's Book of Spells

Jim Sterling, Reviews Editor

Enter a world of majesty and wonder! Concoct spells dreamed of only in your most glittering fantasy! Feel like a bigger fanny than you ever thought you could be with Wonderbook, Sony's answer to the EyePet! Oh, wait ... 

Anyway, here's a new trailer for Wonderbook's first and only announced title, Book of Spells. Watch gormless kids pull astonished faces that they were paid to pull, and marvel as a dragon sort-of-flies around the screen a bit. 

We're taking bets, incidentally, on how many titles Wonderbook will eventually support. 2:1 odds on "less than five." 

Anyway, this looks like dull garbage. It's aimed at young children, but I have decided to make fun of it anyway. Because I can, and because it's easy.





Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)


I canceled my pre-order for this and switched it to Harry Potter Kinect. Now THERE'S where spells come to life!!! I almost shit my pants at that game!
This was the thing that brought Sony's otherwise decent E3 to a screeching halt.
I'm sorry Jim but I can't approve of this video without a 45 minute power-point presentation explaining why wonderbook doesn't make my wonder-bread.
Reactions are legit. This is amazing.

No Jim you're wrong. This is going to be like everything else Sony does: it's not going to be marketed at all by Sony, and then when the first wonderbook inevitable flops, they'll stop making them.
Lovely!

I just love the part when they say that all the parts are sell separately. =D
