Too little attention is given to the smaller independent games of the world, which is a shame because there are many worth playing. An adventure game by Amanita Design caught my eye recently. The graphic art is unique and impressive, the story reminds me bit of Wall-E. Machinarium is a place filled with metallic material and inhabited only by robots. A small robot has been sentenced (unjustly) to spend the rest of his life on a sprawling scrap yard just behind a major city on Machinarium. He won’t be spending much time there though, his job is to prevent destruction and save a cute robot-girl (his friend). For more details on the game, check out the official website. Make sure you click the interview link as it contains all the information you’ll need, oh and you cannot miss the trailer, it’s right there at the top of the page. Developer Amanita Design hopes to release Machinarium at the end of this year.
