Braid

[_]

Has anyone played this game? I have and oh, it's magnificent! The gameplay, the puzzles, the music, the graphics, the levels, everything - it's a perfect platformer.

The basic concept of gameplay is that you run and jump... AND REVERSE TIME.

Reversing time is a unique concept. Let me give an example. Let's say you jump down a cliff and you're stuck down there. Simply reverse time by pressing a button and you'll fly right back up. There's a lot you can do with such a simple concept. Braid proves it.

Like if an object is glowing green, it means that it's immune to your time warping. So if you jump down a cliff to get a key that's glowing green, grab it, and reverse time, you'll bring it back up with you. Where as with a normal key, you'd put it back down.

Now if you don't mind, I'm gonna be listening to this music all day.

Sounds like Cecilia's pocket watch in Wild Arms. ^^ Whenever you'd screw up a puzzle or get stuck, you could just switch to Cecilia and use her pocket watch, and then you'd go back in time to before the screw up.

Braid sounds cool. ^^ I'm guessing it's for one of the newer consoles though. :/ (None of which I have).

I haven't actually heard of this game.

But the way you described it levus makes me want to play the game so bad!

i'll have to check out the OST.

You can download it on Steam for about $15. Steam is like a console that launches games on your PC.

You can also get it on the xBox Live Arcade. But I'm pretty sure you'd be able to run Braid on your PC.

Hmm, I've heard of Steam from my friends, but I don't know how to get it or anything. Is it something I can easily search for on google?

Click the button on the left menu that says "Download Steam".

It's free to download, install and make an account. You just have to pay for the games.

Braid is like the Xbox equivalent of WiiWare's World of Goo. They're both critically acclaimed puzzlers created by indie developers. And wouldn't you know it, Steam has both games available for download at 15 dollars each!

They both have awesome soundtracks as well. ^_^

I downloaded the demo. It is amazing.

Have you seen the ending of Braid? It's pure genius

Btw, if you love the Braid soundtrack, why don't you do one of the songs on MPC
