Braid

Monday, August 11, 2008 » gaming thought

I just finished Jonathan Blow's Braid, which I honestly didn't think would ever happen after seeing some of the areas in World 6. I felt like the smartest person in the world for a while, and then I saw the epilogue and now I'm sort of confused again. But it's more of a thoughtful kind of confused, rather than the "how am I ever going to reach that key" variety.

Anyway, I've upgraded my stance on the game from "you shouldn't buy an Xbox 360 just for this" to "you probably shouldn't buy an Xbox 360 just for this."1

If you already own one, of course, you should play it right away.

1 Buying an Xbox 360 just for Braid and Mass Effect, however, is acceptable.
