Random browsing led me to a story about a cool, cheap game that had been pointlessly hacked. What's the point of hacking a $10 game? And when you consider that it was lovingly made by a small company, who thinks they're going to be perceived as anything other than a total dick for doing so?
Anyways, the game is called Machinarium. It's a Flash game. You control a little robot who's been tossed on the trash heap. The first thing you have to do is get his torso over to his head and then find the missing limbs. Control is pretty limited, but it's more of a puzzle game than an action game. With limited actions and limited resources, you have to stumble around in each level until you figure out both what you're supposed to do and how you can do it. It reminds me of Adventureland, but with cool graphics and excellent music. (The music is moody, which suits the game. Don't expect a soundtrack you can groove to just because I said it's good.)
