Register for an account here if you don't already have one, then play their spin the wheel game until you get your free key. Got a Newegg coupon instead? Just hit the back button, reload the page and play again (no need to register a new account - just repeat until you land on the free Crazy Machines 2 spot).

Takes a little patience, but free is free. Also, you can potentially get $50 off a PNY video card at NE too... but that post is over in the hot deals section.

Awesome offer, however, Crazy Machines 2 is in need of some serious anti-aliasing and enabling it through the ATI control panel does not work at all!

FU PNY,I got it on the first try and my popup blocker prevented me from getting the download.Can't win again and sometimes wheel doesn't even stop spinning!

I'll go outta my way to not buy PNY!

Anyone else having problems installing?

After unzipping it starts the installation of Net Tools, which is another app I installed a while back.

Deleting my Vista 64 temp folder did not help.

Well, aint this a pisser. My code didn't work. So I'm trying to get the game again and I've been trying for 15 minutes. It will not stop on the game as a prize. So, apparently, there must be some cookie that's stored on your machine that prevents the wheel from landing on the game again. Either that or I am having horrible luck.

Thanks OP, got one key on the first try, but then my browser locked up before I could claim the prize - I went back and got another key after playing twice....

I may have a extra key if anyone wants it....

Still no luck, any advice? :)

Delete (or rename) any setup.exe files in the folder you saved the game installer to. This thing has a braindead installer.

There is a serious freeze bug that seems to hit a lot of people. I haven't figured out how to fix it, and the game stays on top so you cant alt-tab to task manager to kill it, have to kill blind. Other than that pretty fun.

Downloaded, installed, and was immediately disappointed how slow the game ran for such simple gameplay. I know it's like a big deal with physics and whatnot but this is awful.

some error applying transforms

well i got it working by extracting the msi and getting a verbose log from the msi installer when it was giving me a 1721 error, turned out it was looking in like c:\SETUPEXEDIR\ for the Physx/OpenAL installers before it would install CM2+

pretty fun game

Okay, played a bit over the weekend. Neat game, the kids like it and help me solve the puzzles. Problem is that it completely locks up every 3-4 puzzles and there doesn't seem to be a fix for it :(

I had trouble with the installer, kept wanting to install MS forefront Security for Exchange, lol, no idea where that was coming from. I used winrar to unpack everything into a new folder, clicked setup and it installed fine from there.
