Just a quick note, after all our collective moaning. Those of you waiting for Machinarium on this week’s store update will be pleased to know that it has now been added to the Store and it’s free for PlayStation Plus subscribers.
There’s still no sign of all the other stuff missing from SCEE’s PSN but let’s not dwell too long on that. This addition shows that at least they’re trying.
For those of you who aren’t keeping up, Machinarium was a bit of a hit on Steam when it arrived at the end of 2009. It then went on to appear on the iPad, Blackberry Playbook and Android platforms before making this jump to home consoles via the PSN.
It’s a smart and quirky point and click puzzler with a great art style so well worth a download at the price of £6.49. And it’s definitely worth the bandwidth, if you’re a lucky PS Plus subscriber getting it for nowt.

I’m not familiar with this, but I’ll certainly be giving it a goes as it’s free.

Great little PS plus freebie, played it last night and found it quite enjoyable. Not a great fan of point and click, but it works nicely with this game. The puzzles are quirky and nicely thought out, although I have to admit to clicking the Hint icon at the top right of the screen Often! :P
Good Stuff ;)
Trophies don’t seem to be working though, and that makes me wonder whether the rushed release was a little premature. It could be a fault of the Playstation Network website, but the trophies do not sync properly or with trophy comparing other players. After trophy syncing, they don’t show up on your profile….or portable id to be more precise.

I was just about to post this too.
Just got 100% on it and synched my trophies, only to find they ain’t there :(

Machinarium trophies PSN sync works now (from around 14:00 CET), you might need to earn you trophies again by gameplay however.

All my trophies synched fine.
Thought I might have to play through it again for a mo :)

Thanks for the heads up, the trophies did indeed sync properly last night when I tried. The trophies earn’t before the Machinarium trophy set was enabled on the PSN servers also counted so….all’s good ;)
