You can add [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/machinarium_collectors_edition ]Machinarium[/url], indie gold nugget, to your very own ‘Best of’ collection for only $9.99 with 8 wallpapers, full soundtrack (which costs $5 extra elsewhere), 8 avatars, 22 artworks, 114 design sketches, available today on GOG.com.

You may have thought Czech are famous only for pilsner, dumplings, Eva Herzigová and [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/vampire_the_masquerade_redemption" target="_blank]Vampires roaming the streets of Prague[/url]. Now, thanks to a few brilliant people from Amanita Design, the Czech Republic is also known as the homeland of trippy point-and-clicks, giant robo-junkyards, and mechanical cities. In Machinarium, you find a small robot named Josef lying on a scrapheap, kicked out of the strange city of robots. You need to get back to the city to confront and defeat the Evil Black Cap Brotherhood that terrorized robot kind and took away Josef’s girlfriend. The goal of Machinarium is to solve a series of puzzles and brain teasers by clicking on objects that are within Josef’s reach. So, it’s a typical point-and-click, but in the same fashion as The Triplets Of Belleville is a typical animation.

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/machinarium_collectors_edition ]Machinarium[/url] is hands down one of the most beautiful games for PCs ever. Of course it’s a matter of taste, but the colored pencil drawings, eerie music, and the clever conversations that involve no dialogues but rather pictographs all combine to create an ethereal atmosphere like in Le Voyage dans la lune or Metropolis. Extraordinary amount of work has been put to detailing the world to perfection, allowing you to discover all the small and big things that make the story of the little robot so artistically unique, brilliantly crafted, imaginatively realised, and fascinating to play. Machinarium is like reading your favorite book in a strange fantastic language you find yourself comprehending after the first few lines.

There is no game quite like [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/machinarium_collectors_edition ]Machinarium[/url], and you should not be reading this right now. Instead you should be immersed in the imaginative and memorable robo-world for $9.99 only, available now on GOG.com.
I had never heard of this before today. I can't pick it up today, but it is certainly on my wishlist. I'll be honest here. I've never had a lot of interest in indies before, but if the releases this week on GOG are anything to go by ... I've been missing out on a lot.

As much as I love the classic releases (that after all is why I love this site), I'm really liking the "new" GOG so far. If all that changes is a larger pool of game types to pool from, you can call me a happy camper.
Doom and gloomers need to understand that this is just a few days past the relaunch. Of course the first week or so of new releases are going to be dedicated to the new format. Just like when a new publisher arrives, we are usually treated with at least a week or two of that publishers games. People wanting old games need to show some patience and they will be rewarded.

Machinarium is great game by the way. I'm happy to see it here on GOG. Like always I would rather buy here than somewhere else.

inc09nito: I've played it through already, but I think it's still worth to grab it just for an awesome soundtrack. Waiting for a sale I guess :P
I love a game with a good soundtrack. I am unashamed to say that game soundtracks now make up about 2/3 or digital my music collection.
Apparently i'm insane now. Geez.

I don't think there's a word for the amount of generalizations, bias, panic and over the top criticism of the aforementioned panic seen in this thread. Guys, seriously?
I just wanted to say if I may say: I love this little game and I love this game's soundtrack and I love GOG for bringing it to everyone's attention yet again. Thank you! :-)

(one more wish: bring here Aquaria, i'll buy it the second time and will also gift it to someone, because I love it SO much! :-) )

keeveek: No. I don't know a single SANE person who hasn't got Machinarium DRM-Free already. There are HUNDREDS of Good old Games in GOG's reach. They just decided to release games everybody already own. It's a big failure for me.

Oh, internet... I wish you had a face I could slap.
With due respect to all my fellow GoG'ers.. While I can totally understand where the hardliners are pissed that GoG has strayed from its classic gaming regimen, I think on a strictly personal level that this is potentially pretty neat. I love Indie games as much as the classics, and think they both share a very similar ethos. Lots of Indie games do nothing more than channel the same energy that made the classics so great back in the day, and try and recapture that pioneering spirit. The focus on gameplay and character vs. most current AAA titles that charge 60 bucks for the same old crap.. The Indie scene knows well why games were so great around 10 years ago, and keep the torches lit in all their pixelated glory. Have a peek around IndieDB.com and you'll see what Im talking about. It's a very compatible community to this one and I think the Indie games will well compliment the true classics.

Lately I've been thinking a lot on getting some soundtracks. I have tons of games already but sometimes it's good to have a break and enjoy a good music. Then why wouldn't it be music from games themselves! :D

Last I checked, Niflas is still just giving his music away from most of his games. Its pretty great ambient electronica type stuff... I leave it running in the background when im working sometimes - really great to get you in your groove on deadline days!!

Yes, today you get to stand tall and say "That game was made in my country!". Great feeling ain't it?

Indeed, even though I have no contribution to it whatsoever...except I was born in that country. But what is so special, that it doesn't happen that often here in Czech Republic :), but ARMA games are still awesome.

I've been thinking about buying whole soundtrack for this little indie game called Dustforce:
http://lifeformed.bandcamp.com/album/fastfall

This is surely my stuff. Amazing thing.

And thanks for the info!
