Braid

Hi all,

Anyone played the Braid demo?

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/04/10/braid-demo/

I found it really interesting, but at the same time kind of frustrating. Maybe I'm just not smart enough Smiling

Anyone played the full game? Apparently it's available on Steam (where I would in case of purchase prefer to buy it because of all the general Steam goodness), but perhaps it's more expensive there than other places? Anyone in the know?

Think it was just released

Think it was just released for PC while being available for some time on XBLA. Supposedly it's the shit Sticking out tongue though I have a nagging feeling that it's a bit over-rated...

Anyway, I'll definitely try it!

Braid demo sounds interesting

I'm not sure if it is a game for me, but since people have said good things about it I might just give the demo a try. The graphics are nice and yet not for me, I think I'm just a sucker for sprites. But the gameplay is supposedly the best part of the game and I know very little about it. So I am quite excited about giving it a try.

And yes, it was just recently released for the PC. It's been out on XBLA for a year give or take. I'm not sure what the price difference is, but I think it cost 10-12$ -ish on XBLA. You can probably look it up. I'd wager Steam will have some campaign with Braid at half price over a weekend or something like that in a month or two if you don't want to pay full price. ;P That seems to be the Steam way.
