Enigmo 2 is even bigger and better than the original game. The addition of a 3-D workspace adds new challenges that make this a worthy successor to an already great game. [more]

To quote the author, "I only wish it were a little less expensive."
With no offense to the author of this article, it always makes me ponder why software is considered "expensive" when so much of it can be had so cheaply. The era of Open Source and "less expensive" shareware has seemingly warped our perceptions of where value exists. Allow me to share my personal guideline for entertainment software such as Enigmo 2 - of which I purchased and love playing.
If I'm willing to pay $10 (actually $9.50 where I live) for a 2 hour movie out, and a piece of software costs $30, which is the better value for the amount of time and enjoyment provided? At $10 I obviously have to watch 3 movies for a total of 6 hours. Does a game like Enigmo provide 6 hours worth of entertainment?
I'll let you be the judge of that one.

My comment was specifically made within the context of comparing Enigmo 2 to another recently released 3D puzzle game that features similar gameplay mechanics -- TubeTwist from GarageGames, which costs significantly less than Enigmo 2 does.
Having said that, Enigmo 2 still merited a four-mouse rating, which is pretty high on our scale.
