Amanita Design’s award-winning point and click adventure game, Machinarium, has been confirmed for a PSN later this year. Praised for its thorough, old-school devotion to the genre, Machinarium also sports some of the very best art work you’re likely to see in modern gaming.
From first impressions it sounds like a direct port of the original game, though it will be using the Dualshock 3. As a point and click adventure, PlayStation Move sounds like an ideal implementation for Amanita, especially as the developer is also working on a Wii version of Machinarium.
The PSN version will also include a walk-through option for newcomers to the genre, allowing players to uncover hints and tips by playing brief mini-games. For those not familiar with Machinarium, it may sound like a crutch, though will be much needed towards the latter part of the game.
A release date has yet to be confirmed, though Machinarium’s presence at E3 suggests it should definitely launch by year’s end.

Never really played this type of game… Not for years anyway. I want it though, based solely on the cool artwork and fact that it has one awards.

Got it on Steam, great game. Artwork and music is brilliant.

Got this on the PC on a whim and loved it. The old skool puzzle solving was brilliant and the art work was fantastic. Unfortunately never completed it so will grab it on the PSN. Hopefully the PS Move will be implemented into the game.
