I bought Machinarium Collector's Edition (a G rated game) at my local games store for $19.95 and have to say it's one of my favourite computer games.

Opening up the case, there are two discs; one is a music soundtrack CD and the other is the game itself on PC DVD-ROM. Also enclosed is a highly detailed walkthrough booklet.


If you want to see if this game's for you, go to the website machinarium.net/demo where you can play a demo and hear the great music.

What stands out about this game is it is highly detailed concept art (my mum has no idea what that means) which is combined with likeable characters such as the robot, Josef.

In order to complete this highly complicated game you need to defeat an enormous amount of challenging brain teasers and puzzles while using excellent logic and navigation skills to get past the Black Cap Brotherhood and save Josef's girlfriend.

It took me more than two months to complete Machinarium from start to finish.

It starts with Josef being hurled out of a giant robot dump ship onto a scrap heap. Playing the role of Josef, you need to find a way to put yourself together and get to the robot city of Machinarium. Along the way, you will start to get confused and somewhat frustrated with the challenges e.g.. getting the cat. There are tips and hints throughout the game that may help.

The main goal in this game is to find and collect items that will help you throughout the game such as a watering can.

I definitely couldn't find solutions easily and found it very challenging but really enjoyed the game and felt that I had made a huge achievement in successfully completing it.

I would recommend this game to people that think outside the square and don't give up easily - this game is definitely not for the faint-hearted!
