Cons: Ok, so the graphics and sound are a bit below our current quality standards – but come on, you’re killing Nazis, who needs VGA for that?

Pros: Grab your Gatling gun and rev up that old 486 of yours and get ready to go back in time for some good ol’ Nazi killing!!! That alone makes this game an automatic winner. Nuff said.

Cons: Ok, so the graphics and sound are a bit below our current quality standards – but come on, you’re killing Nazis, who needs VGA for that?

Pros: So you find yourself in the abandoned mansion of a demented toy maker, discovering clues regarding the disappearance of 6 guests he had invited to his mansion long ago. The story sounds good enough, but in reality, you’re just going around the house solving new and classic logic puzzles. What made this game so cool was how advanced it was for its time. The quality of the graphics far surpassed any other game at the time, making it a landmark in gaming history. It may be just another logic puzzler, but it was a beautiful game, really creepy at points, and overall an enjoyable gaming experience.

Cons: If you're not into logic puzzler, there are a few in here that will break your head.
Also, the actors who played the ghosts who keep showing up here and there were just plain AWFUL! I mean, if you're gonna revolutionize gaming by including live action video, you should leave some money in the budget for decent actors!

Pros: Once you make your first super-awesome double rebound shot that has the entire complex of snoods fall to their deaths, there's no turning back. You will become a Snood Jedi. And you will rock the world with your blindingly fast and deadly accurate Snood Launcher click finger.

Cons: Beware: Highly Addictive and parents don't like to hear how you spent 2 semesters of $20,000 a year college education obsessively playing this game instead of going to class.

Cons: None

Pros: Much like the world of Lemmings had you herding your little critters from one place to the desired destination, you’ve now got yourself a heap-load of goo-balls to feed into the pipe at the end of each level. Getting to that pipe, though, can be difficult and necessitate constructing some kind of structure to transports the goo balls to their final destination. You're in luck that the goo-ball themselves can be stretched and bound together to form oddly shaped scaffolding that bends and reacts to things like gravity and wind. As you progress you discover different types of goo-balls that have different functions. The game get’s devilishly challenging by the end.
Lots of fun, easily replayable and highly recommended!

Cons: None

Pros: I’ve played through this game twice now and would definitely go back for a 3rd round. I’ve always been a sucker for adventure games and this one was a breath of fresh air. First off: The artwork is enough alone to keep you engaged until the end of the game. Just take a look at a few screen shots and you’ll see why. This makes staring at the screen much more enjoyable while you’re looking for that confounding piece of the puzzle that will help you solve it and move on. The music also accompanies perfectly – it must as there is no dialogue at all in the game. Depending on how good you are at puzzles, you may breeze through the game with a toughie here and there; or you could spend weeks pulling your hair out. But no worries, for those stuck on a seemingly unsolvable puzzle, the game throws you a bone: a hint button and a walkthrough option for the puzzle your on (if you can get through the mini-game you need to win to access it). All in all – a great and fun game, well worth the $20.

Cons: If you’re using and cleaning program like CCleaner, be careful that you configure it so that it excludes the Machinarium folder when performing it’s clean up. The game runs on Flash and all saved games will be wiped out if you run CCleaner without this exception. This is why I played through Machinarium 2 times (actually 1.8 times), but that’s not such a bad thing.
