WTF IS THIS GAME?
If you have ever played, and enjoyed, The Incredible Machines series (and if you haven't, WTF is wrong with you?) than you are in for a treat.
This game has 200 puzzles of contraptions, and 150 tools of whackiness! This is The Incredible Machine on steroids!
A full Editor is available in game, and allows you to publish your puzzle to the rest of the world! So once you are done tackling the 200 levels, try some other fan made puzzles!
Here, let Valve explain it better:

All new elements, plus an amazing 3d physics engine lets you craft even more complex gadgets and effects. Go on tour with the crazy professor and put your skills to the test with challenges from around the globe. Travel, from the bazaars of Egypt to the white sands of the Caribbean, then blast off into space for an out of this world gaming experience. Check out the crazy machines community online! Post machines you've created and download those made by others. Compete for tropies and high ratings.

Having a problem starting the game?
Some people are having problems launching the game from steam.
If you are having this issue, try these steps
1: Install openal -- Go to your CM2 directory in steam (Steam\steamapps\common\crazy machines 2\Openal\oalinst.exe)
2: Install the Physx drivers (this is what fixed mine) http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/8.04.25/PhysX_8.04.25_SystemSoftware.exe
3: If you are running Vista, download the latest Direct X 10 here http://www.gamesforwindows.com/en-US/AboutGFW/Pages/DirectX10-a.aspx
One of the first game threads I made.. so if you want me to add anything... let me know!

My girlfriend loved the screenshots but was really sad that there wasn't a demo so thanks a lot
I'll try it as well!
Speaking of which, where the hell is Incredible Machine XBLA?
I may pick up CM1 + expansions after I finish these ones
The other thing I like about this game, is it gives you hints or a full puzzle reveal that you can use if you are really stuck. However, if you use it, you do not get any points (I am unsure of what points are used for... I am assuming you just don't get a trophy once you finish the puzzle)
