I'll definitely need to try it out.

XBL is really getting some awesome games this year....I'm excited.

I really want to try this, but I'm not buying an XBOX360 for it. =(

Nice editing in this video, as always!

Did anyone else think Maple Story with time manipulation? (speaking in terms of art style and control)

What does it say at the beginning? I think it's something backwards^^ GB is evil, good review, I need to play this game to see what's so hard about it.

edit: at the beginning it says Video review backwards and Ryan's first words sound like "blablabla" (backwards I mean)xD

Saweet! Braid rocks!

Man I love video reviews from GB! This is definitely one of the sites strong points

And this is why an "indie" site like GB kicks so much righteous ass, great video reviews like this.

Creepy bunny.

Don't be afraid to say it, Ryan!  If it's true, let your heart speak!

looks good!

When I read the heading very quickly, I thought it said Brad found a way into your heart., and I was like, "finally, he admits it."

Good review, although I think all the crazy positive reviews ruined it for me.  I'm enjoying the game but not as much as I thought I would.

I hope this game comes to Steam soon. Nice video review!
