...but it's so damn hard.
Braid is one of the best games available on XBL Marketplace, and it's well worth the money. Braid is a 2D Puzzle/Platformer. The game is very interesting, because on each level there is a different flow of time. You have to solve a puzzle on each level, and in order to do this, you have to collect the puzzle pieces. And there' s monsters everywhere to stop you from doing this. You have to manipulate time in order to get the puzzle pieces. Ofcourse, your main objective is not to collect the pieces, but to find the princess your charecter is looking for. The story is told in a wierd manner at the beggining of each level. You can also skip through all the levels by just moving to the castle, where a wierd kind of creature will have a message for you. Braid is a very hard game, and you'll probobly have to find an online walkthrough to solve some of the puzzles. Overall though, Braid is reccomended, as it is a very good XBL Arcade game. I won' t give it a score higher than 8, because I don' t think that it is better than ''very good'' though.
