Weird that you would say that, I just finished reading an online comic called Robot Lincoln.. http://www.robot-zombie.com/

(I know, different Abe, but still...)

I'd like to see Amanita Design do a video game based on one of Hieronymus Bosch's paintings.

Not since The Neverhood have I been this excited for a game of this genre.

This is absolutely gorgeous.

I know! I was gifted The Neverhood by my mom a loooonnnngggg time ago. No idea how she happened to make the choice. I'll never forget it. Or that catchy tune that played throughout much of the game.

Aw, poor little drummer guy! That fat dude ate his drum, so now he can drum no more.
I don't like games that make me sad...

Some parts remind me of the Jack's town in Nightmare Before Christmas. I wish it were coming to the 360.

I'm actually a little intimidated... since it's so hard to tell the background from functional objects, I might have a really hard time playing... kind of like that one flash game with no instructions but a huge complex contraption.

They also made Samarost 1+2 which are similarly awesome. Great aesthetic!

I knew it! The gameplay video oozed of a similar vibe to the fantastic point-and-click titles. Now I'm even more excited than I was before.

I've been endlessly excited for this since I first saw it several months ago. The Samarost games were phenomenal, too.

I never buy computer games.

Above is the last time I can type that sentence. I just dun pre-ordered this one.

A little proper art direction goes a long way.

Pre-ordered. This sort of real creativity in the gaming medium deserves support... Not to mention, LONG LIVE 2D! This game looks more beautiful than most current gen 3D titles. Don't get me wrong, I love the possibilities 3D offers too, but there's a richness and depth to (good) hand-drawn or painted art that is yet to be matched in 3D (which is a comparatively young visual art medium) so far.

Beautiful... I would love to see a comic in this art style. But anyhow another game I wouldn't mind trying but PC? I'm not a PC gamer : ( 360 would be more ideal.

Games like this show there is more than enough life in 2D games and I wish Sonic could be presented as such and beautiful in its own way.

2D needs to make a proper comeback! There's been some return with the HD SFII and Turtles in Time, so it seems gamers may be ready to be allured by 2D's seductive ways.

Considering Samorost is one of my favorite games, I will certainly be picking this one up!

I've played a game that looks like this. You're some guy trying to stop something from hurtling through space into your home. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

By the power of Google (and reading the comments above me)! It's Samorost!

And guess what? Samorost is the same team that's working on Machinarium.

How can people still think that games doesn't count as art? Stuff like this needs to be shown to all those naysayers.

This game looks beautiful but I never play PC games, maybe they will port it to wiiware or psn. It would work great on wii. I'll keep my eye on this title.

Doubtful. It's a point-and-click adventure game. That wouldn't work well on a console.
