You know what, buster? It might be true that Amanita Design's wonderful little adventure game Machinarium is almost two years old. But you know what else? We don't care. As long as there are people walking this big blue globe who haven't helped little Josef on his journey to find the robot girl of his dreams, we're going to keep telling you when the game comes to new platforms.

Today, we bring word that Machinarium has appeared on iPad 2 for $4.99. If you have not played it, then you should buy it, because it is great.

We'll see you here again in this same space when Machinarium finally makes it to N-Gage.

Not on iPad 1 though?

@SolidSage Yeh, bit of an odd statement "on the iPad 2". Considering the internals are almost identical, I doubt it's just for iPad 2.

@SolidSage
The app page from the app store says they have only got it working on the iPad 2 for now.

@sortius
They do have significant difference in processor speed.

It's still INSANE that they couldn't get Machinarium to work on both, though.

@sortius Unfortunately, Machinarium needs lot of memory. And even on iPad 2 dual-core there is occasional slowdown, so good processor is also needed.

Oh, not to mention the PSN version. I've been holding out on playing this game through until it's on my preferred platform.

@Kirkpad

Yeah, I game in and got the steam version, But ill be getting it again if it comes to PSN, Trophies and just it being good will make me play again!

Machinarium + 2 in the title = hope and excitement for a sequel = (a)

(a) - re-reading the title to make sure it was correct = disappointed it's only another copy of the original

Maths is depressing...
