Braid available on Xbox Live
August 6th, 2008 Posted in Games
If you haven’t heard of Braid, here it is in a nutshell — gorgeous and brilliant. It’s simple platforming fun, you can rewind time with the X button to get through the levels and… as far as I can tell, that’s it.
It’s friggin awesome, go get it now — at face value it’s worth the 1200 Microsoft Points that it costs to download. Of course, that’s pending the length of the game, but from the five to ten minutes I just played, it’s well worth it even if it’s short. If you don’t believe me, get the trial version and make up your own mind. Sublime.
It’s good but not worth 1200 points. Over Priced in terms of Xbox arcade games. 800 points and I’m sold, 1200 and its a “maybe later”.
Hmm… Xbox Live Arcade pricing is an interesting issue. I think I’ll bring it up in its own post…
