RSS Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 If you've been paying close attention to the video game industry recently, you might have heard about Braid. Developer Jonathan Blow has been working on the project independently for close to three years, but could a seemingly simple puzzle / platformer programmed by one man really live up to the hype?

Missy Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 This review made me want an Xbox 360 and an Xbox Live account. But I can't afford either. Anyone have an extra $350 they wouldn't mind donating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drqshadow Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Loved this game, and the review does a great job of summarizing it. I had a few minor gripes with Braid (the length, the price, the vague storyline, the repeated stage designs, the FREAKING CHEAP BREAKABLE KEYS THAT DON'T INDICATE THE PROPER DOOR) but ultimately thought it was fantastic. Another fine contribution, Aaron! Yoda, I think the screenshot you grabbed is from the PC version - the Xbox visuals are actually quite a bit nicer, specifically on the character models and interactive objects. Plus, the title character no longer looks like a middle-aged, overweight computer programmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Quick and to the point. Another good one, Aaron. I'm assuming this game is DLC? Shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 I found the image on the official Braid site, and I went with it because it was one of the few without another site's watermark. If someone can find me a good image from the Xbox Live version, I'd gladly replace the current one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Robinson Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Thanks guys. Here's the "title screen" that shows when you begin the game. It's the image I've seen the most of in reviews/previews. Linky Linky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 This review made me want an Xbox 360 and an Xbox Live account. But I can't afford either. Anyone have an extra $350 they wouldn't mind donating? The 360 is about to get a price cut in a couple weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Even still, a large enough donation would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 I'd LOVE to donate, but Earth-2 doesn't pay me enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
