Puzzle Fun

There are so many good sites to review and since we will be exploring gaming soon, I thought it would be interesting to check out Machinarium an independent puzzle / adventure game by Amanita Design.

There are a few things I like about this game. First, I like the low tech anything but simple graphics, very fun and they are layered to give you dimension without the 3D look. Secondly, I like the complexity of figuring out what to do and how to advance through the game. They give you game hints if you need them, but its more rewarding if you can figure out on your own. There is no need to blow things up or rack up points. which I find a little refreshing. This game keeps you involved as you figure out how to move along the character.
