Default Braid: My 2008 Game of the Year

Hey guys... If you own a 360 you owe it to yourself to try the demo for Braid. Easily the most innovative game I've played in years.

Braid is a really great game. It has some really great puzzles and a good thought provoking and emotional story. My only thought at the end was that I wished there were more puzzles for me to do. Not in a bad way mind you, I don't think for a minute that my money was wasted, but I just want more cool puzzles to solve.

Tried the demo last night; will be buying the full-game for sure. It looks like Braid will be 2008's Portal.

I think it looks awesome, too bad I don't have a 360 anymore or I'd for sure download it. They should bring it out on PSN.

Speaking of, I'm downlading Bionic Commando Rearmed right now. EXCITED!

To think I almost passed on this because of the goofy main character design. So far it's been really cool, like prince of persia sands of time taken to a new level. First couple worlds were pretty easy but world 4 is now kicking my butt.

Didn't like it. In all fairness I played it for like 10 mins but it struck me to much like Mario Brothers with some bells & whistles. Not my kinda game sadly.

Downloaded the demo last week after someone here on the board mentioned it, visually stunning and possibly a lot of fun. After over 2 years of having XBOX Live I just threw $15 on my account, might snag the full copy or just rent/download a movie.
