Amanita Design’s highly acclaimed Machinarium is one of those rare success stories of a game that truly goes above and beyond its expectations. The simple mechanic of point-and-click is beautifully orchestrated in the hand-drawn graphics of this robotic adventure. Although gamers from the states have been able to enjoy Machinarium, the UK audience has yet to have a try (in regards to retail, otherwise it’s up on Steam!). In light of this, Mamba Games has decided to publish the game throughout the UK and Europe on PC sometime in March 2010.

With over 20 gaming and design awards, Machinarium is a force to be reckoned with. It even won the Excellence Award for Visual Art at the Independent Games Festival the past year. Expect a release in the UK/Europe on March 5th, 2010. Although the game will be available online, the retail version will include some exceptional bonuses such as an additional soundtrack CD, a booklet with never-before-seen concept art, a poster, as well as a walkthrough. Wow! That all sounds freakin’ fantastic, just the reason I love retail releases.

Pre-orders are available at this location. That’s some delightful news for today!
