Recently I read this post written by dark_messenger about Machinarium, a simple point and click adventure with a very simple and cute story. I gave the game a try as you can just go to http://machinarium.net/demo/ and start the demo in the browser itself. I got hooked to the game instantly, and got the full version. It is strictly a 2D game with pure hand drawn artwork. It is brilliant!

The puzzles are awesome, there are small mini games and the best part is there are no dialogs at all! I mean, I like listening to characters in the story, but here the characters are telling their problems in simple gestures or pictorial thoughts. The game is not very long, hints are nice, the game includes a walkthrough as well for which to open, you have to play a boring mini game... intelligently put. One more thing which I liked about the game was its story, its not epic, its a simple story of a robot who is searching for his lost girlfriend. If you have free time, do give this game a try!

I also finished InFamous, and my reaction is: Mind Blowing! I started infamous some time back, and I had way too many games at that time for whom I abandoned infamous in the middle, however my room mate insisted that I continue the game as it gets better, so I continued... and MAN, the game does get better and better. The powers are awesome! the story is brilliant, and the thing which is best in the game is ... its variety in the type of missions.

Honestly speaking, even GTA4, though an awesome game, any time enjoyable, does have missions which are repetitive. InFamous has an arsenal of different powers and I dont know, how many types of missions. Infamous city is ok, and the people are a little lifeless, also the animations are crappy. But these things simply dont come in the way of the gameplay, which is why, this game ROCKS! must play for all PS3 owners.
