Hey peoples,

Yesterday Steam released a new game called Crazy Machines 2 which is just like a next-gen version of Incredible Machine. The graphics are gorgeous, and the physics are controlled by Ageia. Funny thing is this was something that I was working on when Dark Physics was released, but I never finished it.

Anyways, it's just $20 and well worth it. It's actually really good! Anyone else seen this?

Amazing! TIM was an awesome game and $20 is well worth having some fun, I guess.

It's not by Valve, just sold by them.

Looks great, I was a big fan of The Incredible Machine back in the day. I'd really like to give this one a try.

TIM was included with my old 133mHz Packard Bell desktop... I loved that machine with its 2x Speed CD-Rom Drive, its Windows 95 and its tiny hard drive.

Indeed, and more importantly for them they know how to prevent piracy (Or are the most savy about it, so it seems). They probably have a leg up on most companies dollar wise just from the fact they probably don't suffer as big of a loss as other companies (cough EA/Crytek).

The game looks wicked sweet though. I wonder if my laptop could handle it.

I saw that ad the other day. If I had $20 to spare right now, I'd get it. But... I have no money.
TIM was always one of my favorite games EVER.
