Braid

Have 15$ laying around and an Xbox360?

Better check out the game Braid. Beautiful art, great gameplay and a surprisingly intriguing story.

I'd say more, but if you have a 360, at least download the free trail version and see if you like it. It's a very clever game.

I've heard it's pretty short, but I'm curious.  I may well give it a whirl when it hits PC, provided it isn't Steam-only.

I've already played and beaten it, and to put it shortly it's a good game although it can be frustrating at times like trying to figure out the puzzles or executing the solution, also I wasn't really able to understand the plot line too well ???

Plot line has two sides, one is it's surface, which is Tims journey after the Princess and there is also an ambivalent story behind that. Though you need to have knowledge outside the game to understand it.

If it comes out for the pc I might think about it also, but for the book I am now playing Uru again as my son lost all my saves when he upgraded my computer :( I don't mind but I had my Relto coming along really well with a very mature looking tree and that takes some doing :(
But I also working my way through Aquaria again at the same time so I must me mad :D

Duct tape is like 'The Force'. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together

I thought it looked pretty neat when I first heard about it.  I downloaded the trial on XBL and it was...well it was ok.  I heard after it's release that it had a very difficult to follow story with a lot of exposition in the beginning that set the stage for an epic tale that ultimately went nowhere.  Besides, the game wasn't fun enough (and from what I hear long enough) to be worth my 15 bucks.  I'll pay less for Bionic Commando instead.

Bought Braid this morning. Sooo badass.

Just another reason Aquaria should be up on XBLA competing with it. ;)

I'm definitely interested in getting this game when it comes to PC. I've read many reviews and seen many screenshots and by the game mechanics that are mentioned with the time dimension I'm highly impressed with the new style of content. A whole other dimension to think about while playing. Pretty cool.

Just finished it yesterday. Was a bit confused by the end of the story, but that last sequence was awesome!

Definitely going to try and beat the speed run challenge time sometime soon. :D

Wow.  My world just grew larger.  Or smaller.  Or maybe wasn't affected at all.  Or something.
