Destructoid review (http://www.destructoid.com/review-machinarium-152301.phtml):

"...if you're even remotely interested in adventure or puzzle games, you'd be a complete fool not to check out Machinarium."

"As imaginative as it is polished, Machinarium is refreshing, unique, and highly recommended. Just buy it. In fact, buy a copy for a friend."

This is a thorough description of the game and there are many nice screenshots on the right side of the page (warning, there were several game play spoilers so don't investigate them too closely if you haven't finished the game yet).

RockPaperShotgun.com's "The Games Of Christmas: December 4th (http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/12/04/the-games-of-christmas-december-4th/)"

My favorite observation: "But what I love most is the emotion that pulses through the game.... It's in a big part about what's not said, what's not spelt out for you. The story of friendship between the two robots is barely enunciated. It's a wisp, floating inside an oppressive and dingy world of fascistic robot police and towering archaic architecture. When you first see your captured friend through the window to the kitchen you feel the gasp of potential for hope, introduced so gently through the remembered moments of play in your character's daydreams.  Machinarium is beautiful."

Good Game Spawn Point, an Australian gaming show, has rated Machinarium, as I only just found out….

*Spoiler Alert*

Rated 8 and 8.5
