Braid

[The Landslide]

Has anyone else downloaded this from the X Box Live Marketplace? This game is fucking amazing, another great game in a slew of fantastic XBL Arcade games (such as the new Geometry Wars and the ridiculously good Schizoid).

Its graphics are beautiful, its puzzles are fun, and its mechanics are original. Braid is awesome.

It's a fun platformer I think. Solving the puzzles is pretty satisfying.

I thought Braids story was horrible, and the way it was presented was even worse. But the music and the puzzle solving was awesome. It was a real throwback to puzzle platformers that were on the pc like maniac mansion and such. Best 15$ i spent on live

What? The story was probably the best part. I don't mean to be rude, but did you understand it?

The gameplay, graphics, story, and everything else about this game were just awesome. I loved it.

The story's full of itself, until the very last level.

Literally, the last thing you do in the game is the most goddamned epic thing in 2008. Aside from, the release of SC4.

The platforming & time altering mechanics are great, even if the game is very similar to Mario.

It looks like an ugly, British Mario.

A "little" elaboration on the complexity of Braid's storyline:

Keep in mind this only one interpretation. A key component to the beauty of Braid is it's openness to interpretation. This is the theory I mostly subscribe to though.

Been wanting to play this since it came out, but I'm still waiting on that PC version...
