Braid Reviews

productjoy hmmm sounds interesting, what gaming platform does braid work on?

briefnotion Pc, downloaded via steam clienT

fnoo It was originally for Xbox Live Arcade. The PC version followed. Now it's also on PS3 and Mac. There's even a Linux port.

The dude behind this, Jonathan Blow, is working on a new Myst-like game for PC:

riddlefish Huh. So is it an adventure puzzle-solving type game like Zelda or something?

fnoo Sort of. Superficially it's meant to resemble Super Mario Bros. That's mostly to make you question your assumptions about traditional game structure and the metaphors implicit in traditional game design.

If it resembles any other recent game, that would probably be Portal. Different logic, but similar mentality. If that makes sense.
