http://www.netbooknews.com When a classic puzzle game gets a refresh and its right it looks like Cogs. Its got polished high end graphics and combined with mechanical interfaces that act like a well oiled machine. There are two modes of game play, Inventor and Challenge. Inventor mode is a series of unlockable puzzles, while Challenge lets you try to either beat the clock, or complete the puzzle in the lowest number of moves. In Inventor mode you have to complete one puzzle to move on to the next, and you have to get a certain number of stars.
Based off the old sliding puzzle game the refresh appears when instead of sliding around pieces of an image, the tiles have different mechanical parts attached to them. There are different challenges in each puzzle, wether it be moving the pipe steam from one end of the board to the next, in order to blow up a balloon, or align gears around a three dimensional cube. On top of the technological update to the sliding puzzle pieces they are three dimensional. So you have multiple sides to consider in the 50 different levels this game has to offer.

The last game play feature that we should consider is the sound, which is fantastic. The various menu's all swing around mechanically mounted on cogs. The sound of the mechanical objects themselves, is quality, as well as the background music, which reminds us a little of a jack and the box or a traditional music box.
