GamersUniverse just published their Braid review – “Captivating, intelligent and thought provoking, Braid is probably one of the finest titles available on Live Arcade. ”

Possibly one of the most meaningful sites in the industry says this:
“I wrung four and a half hours out of the finished product, coming into contact with genuinely huge concepts that hum with stradavarian fullness.”

Wonderful game, Jonathan. I think it is a treat that we are able to experience such an imaginative and fascinating game. I was playing Sonic the Hedgehog 2 yesterday and was saddened to discover I could not manipulate time. Excellent work.

Such a huge amount of praise, well deserved. I quite like the fact that i knew almost nothing about this game until i tried the demo out of curiosity. When i got to the end of the demo there was no hesitation, i just threw my points at the Xbox and carried right on. I ended up staying up all night playing, and finally finishing it at about 8:30. Knackered but happy, i then promptly fell asleep.

I’ve been playing games since i was about 7, when i went round my friends house and saw him playing his NES on some crappy black and white TV. Whilst i mostly enjoy the typically popular games, its not very often something comes along that makes me sit up and take notice, and remind me why exactly i got into video games in the first place. Its easy to get jaded and cynical with sequel after sequel, but its a relief to know that i can still be surprised and thrilled by something a little leftfield that seemingly came out of nowhere.

I played this on a friends xbox last night and I was immediately hooked.

I am really hoping the PC version can run on my mac at some point or there is a mac port.

Thank you for bringing culture back to gaming.

I am going to really pound my chest until everyone acknowledges it as the work of genius it is! My review is on http://www.gunfart.com

I’ve just reached World 1 but before I begin I wanted to add my thanks for creating a real gem.

I never had any problem paying a bit more for a game this good (although MS points ARE a terrible idea). I just hope you’ll use the profits to bring us another one.
