Digital Spy writes: "Napoleon once rather disparagingly described Great Britain as a nation of shopkeepers, but a nation of engineers may possibly have been more appropriate. Over the years, dedicated British people in sheds have laboured for hours trying to invent the next big breakthrough. Not least steam-loving Lancastrian Fred Dibnah who built an entire piece of coal mining machinery in his back garden, including 100 foot-deep shaft with pit-head gear and winding engine. It's likely that Dibnah would approve of the brain boggling puzzles and fabulous contraptions in Crazy Machines Complete, which will appeal to any gamers with an inclination for invention."
From GameWatcher: "If you thought that the dream of the Rube Goldberg device game died with the Incredible Machine series, then I’ve got some good news. The contraption-building concept has been quietly trucking along thanks to the Crazy Machines franchise, and the latest entry just got a new teaser trailer and a release date that’s not far off.
Crazy Machines 3 will release on October 18 for PC, Mac, and Linux. The developers promise the greatest, most advanced contraption simulation ever created, building on systems and operators ranging from electricity and explosions to lasers and the wind."
SteamFirst: In Crazy Machines, German developer, “Fakt Software” recreates their traditional 2-D puzzle game for the constantly improving graphics technology of current times. The last Crazy Machine was released back in 2007. Fakt prides itself in being a Rube Goldberg-inspired game, which essentially means, a game that is “deviously complex and impractical.”
Hardcore Gamer: If you grew up loving the Incredible Machines series and its crazy puzzles, then you'll love this Bundle Stars deal on the Crazy Machines franchise. They're essentially its modern-day equivalent, and this bundle gives you a bunch of its content for $4.
