Braid is beautiful, entertaining and inspiring. It stretches both intellect and emotion, and these elements dovetail beautifully rather than chaffing against each other. Still wondering if games can be art? Here's your answer.

First Geo Wars 2 now this!............. IN YOUR FACE COWS :P :P :P haha jk

You're about... *looks at watch*

...12 hours late.

wow a 10 from eurogamer is pretty impressive, they gave mgs4 an 8

Just beat this amazing game (100% puzzles).. It took me about 8-10 hours, but I didn't look at any walkthroughs and figured out every single puzzle on my own. Other than the original Ninja Gaiden, I can't remember a recent game that I've played that gave me as much feeling of accomplishment.

I only wish Braid had a forum where you could talk about the story, because its like a good book that you want to go to a book club and discuss and share what you've gotten from it and hear how other people have interpreted it.

No I said a forum where you can discuss the story with other people.. I guess I should have said intelligent people... not a bunch of 10 year olds complaining that they aren't spending $15 on 'some stupid mario clone' when bionic commando rearmed is coming out soon. sigh...

Just to let you know every game has a forum, just search for the game you want then go on forum.

WHAT??? how is Braid EXPENSIVE??? It's FIFTEEN DOLLERS. It's cheaper then some stuff at H&M. Fifteen dollers is VERY cheap, especially for a game like that. I'm DEFINITLEY getting Braid if it comes out on PC because I don't have a 360. Oh well.
