The Sting: Braid XBLA
I recently downloaded the new Xbox Live Arcade game, Braid and wanted to post my initial thoughts on this thought provoking game.
First of all let me tell you that I absolutely love this little game. I'm not even halfway done yet and I have been blown over by the unique mind bending gameplay. This game brings such a fresh game mechanic that makes you rethink how you view time, very similiar to how Portal made you rethink space. You are constantly having to juggle platforming, rewinding time, and understand how to bend time to your will. The puzzles are devilishly clever and you will jump for joy when you finally figure out a puzzle that has been vexing you.
The graphics are dreamy and evoke a watercolored look like the movie "What Dreams May Come" with Robin Williams.
Overall I highly recommend this game, although the $15 price is a little more than I was expecting. At least give the free demo a try first and I'm sure it will hook you like it did me.
