This is perhaps the nineteenth time I've started writing this review. If this were a montage in an old movie, this is the point we'd cut to the bin next to my desk, overflowing with crumpled balls of paper, torn in frustration from an imposing, mocking

TeamXBOX
After TeamXbox posted my Braid preview, one of the comments compared the game to Valve’s Portal from The Orange Box bundle. Comparing these puzzlers is very apt, indeed, because they do have similarities in how they task you to solve your current

A moving story, serene visuals, and brilliant puzzles make Braid an adventure that you absolutely should experience.

Regret. Guilt. Romantic expectation. Braid doesn't just touch upon these things in passing; rather, its narrative and endlessly clever puzzle-platforming exist symbiotically, never taking the intelligence of its players for granted...or making any

Jonathan Blow's Braid is perhaps one of the most immaculately conceived and executed puzzle games the medium has yet seen. It's a post-modern fantasy, "games as art" in its highest form, which twists a damsel-in-distress platformer - that oh-so-cliché

Even with its short length and higher cost, it's a journey that's greater than the destination. You owe it to yourself to play a game this good.

Kyle and I have been watching (and occasionally playing) Braid for more than a year now. Since a fateful meeting with Jonathan Blow at E3 introduced me to the game, it's been love at first sight. As anyone who asked me about indie games (and later XBLA

Giant Bomb
Much has been made of the indie nature of Jonathan Blow's Braid. This is, by and large, a one-man show, and not just on the development side. At the same time that it challenges the player with box-bending time-manipulation puzzles, Braid tells a story

There are the kinds of games that you know are great the moment you first start playing them. Not just because they look good or have an amazing production value, but rather because of how they make you feel. Braid is that kind of game, a small Xbox Live

Every so often, a game comes around that simply blows you away. Braid, released on the Xbox Live Arcade on August 6, is one of those games for me. Developed by the two-man team of Jonathan Blow and David Hellman, Braid is a puzzle-platformer.

It's a rare occasion when you're thinking about a game when you're not playing it. Braid - an independent title developed by Jonathan Blow - is that kind of game. When you have the controller in your hands and are immersed in its world, it feels like
