Machinarium

I got this game for Christmas last year.  It's basically another point and click puzzle-venture where you play this cute comical robot who has been put out of sorts by some evil robots.  You start in a junk pile to run through the interaction basics of the game and then are left to progress your way back to the home you have for some mysterious reason been evicted from.  You have an inventory to collect various objects in game and use them to trigger events in certain areas to progress to other locked areas.  Your objective is simple.  Find out what happened that got you in this mess and save your cute robot girlfriend from the clutches of the evil robots.  Other than the interesting mind bending puzzles that bar your progression, Machinarium scored points with me on the unique artistic look of the game, the wonderful new age lounge music that accompany the various areas of the game, and the occasional mini games that do a throw back to the simpler times of video games.  You can find Machinarium on Steam for $20 USD but I have recently seen it on special for $9 USD.
