.Crazy Machines: The Wacky Contraptions Game Win/Mac
City Travel Guides > Software > PC Games
from: Viva Media

November 15, 2006
This is a very enjoyable and well-finished game. It's aimed squarely at people who like to solve puzzles, but it should also appeal to people who like gadgets and unusual machines.

The puzzles start out very easy, but get more challenging as you go on. The early puzzles are designed to teach you about the user interface, and about the function and purpose of the various crazy parts that you can build into your machines.

Occasionally the solutions depend on the exact placement of parts to get a somewhat 'fluky' result, but usually this is not the case. In this respect, the game seems better than its forerunner, The Incredible Machine. The graphics and built-in physics are really excellent, and the sensation of movement ... Read More:

This game has been widely compared to the DIABLO series - and understandably so, I guess: any hack 'n' slash cRPG is bound to seem to have borrowed from the bestseller action-cRPG. Nevertheless, it bears more similarities to another great game: NOX.

This is a VERY GOOD game in every aspect: third person perspective with good camera placement; natural character movement; fun projectile physics; a transforming pet/sidekick with interesting abilities; tons of weapons and equipment to barter; good and crisply designed environments; and appropriate sounds and voices...It may not feature the deeper of story-lines or "official D&D dice" getting thrown in the background, but, without being a children's game, IT IS REALLY FUN!!!

.Chocolatier 2

This is a Business-SIM focusing on chocolate trade. Although sold under cheaply as a casual game, I found this much more fun and enjoyable than more advertised and much more expensive games!

You start out as an apprentice and have to master ingredients, recipes, ordering and marketing. This is a well balanced game and you and your family will have great Fun!

I think it would be a good idea to download the 60min-trial version from Reflexive (you can Google it) and decide whether this is your cup of tea.

WARNING! This game may precipitate INTENSE Chocolate-cravings! :)

RECOMMENDED!
