I’m kind of in love with Machinarium. That really sets the tone for the whole review, doesn’t it? The thing is, I’m exactly the kind of person that a game like Machinarium is targeted towards. I love adventure games, and being an indie...

Machinarium is a beautifully designed puzzle based game. The quality of the art, background, and animation is second to none. Machinarium is a Flash based game so it doesn’t require a high end computer to play it, which is a big plus. It’s...

DaveOK, so here was my situation: It was a Thursday lunchtime, I had just finished all my work for the day, and I had 15€ of credit on my steam account. Flicking through the new releases page, I noticed the pretty, hand drawn front page of...

There was a time when theory-based point-and-click adventures were held in the same esteem as the triple-A, guns and explosion-laden affairs that are loved so dearly now. Now, however, games that are 'uneventful', but thoughtful and amiable are...
