Activision Publishing has teamed up with Nickelodeon to bring the iCarly videogame on a couple of platforms in North America – the flagging Wii as well as the Nintendo DS/DSi. Thanks to the wonders of modern technology and superior computing power, the iCarly videogame allows fans of Nickelodeon’s hit television series join the cast of iCarly in a virtual experience. The game is heavily inspired by the show’s theme of using technology to the fullest in order to be creative, and iCarly will even sport special features for the Nintendo DSi, allowing players to interact with their surroundings using the system’s camera and microphone (guess this is another reason for DS owners to make the upgrade move!)

In the iCarly video game, players help Carly, Sam, Freddie and the other characters from the hit TV series craft all-new “webisodes” of the show in an original storyline written exclusively for the game. Over 80 frenetic challenges–presented as show segments – capture the creativity of the series, and allow players to collaborate with the show’s main characters through new adventures. The innovative iCreate mode provides opportunities for gamers to add their own unique touches to the webisodes by swapping out props, characters, color schemes, audio, intros, outros and more. Up to four players can either compete or cooperate together on Wii to complete the skits and earn Web-Cred, which can then be used to purchase new items, props, accessories and locations from in-game virtual websites.

Expect regular price tags to be attached with both titles on their respective platforms, although we don’t think this will be as big a hit as Line Rider on the DS that seems to tickle the mind much more.
