Braid XBLA Gameplay Video
Featured at GDC along with a host of other games, Braid is an time-bending platformer that will hit XBLA sometime this summer. The simpler aspects of the gameplay and design hearken back the to the early days of platforming history, but the inclusion of control over time adds enough depth that this could easily be called a puzzler wrapped in a platforming skin. The players ability to play with the fabric of reality is limited however, to allow for levels of difficulty and replayablity. For example, there are certain things in the world (enemies, items, etc) that will not respond to your attempt to bend them to your chronal will, and will continue in timelines of their own changing the way you must use or avoid them. The game will have many different modes and looks to our eyes to be an interesting and original experience, but hey, just watch the video and see for yourself.
[Edit: The video is now working, sorry for the delay.]

Not impressed at all with this game. But I'll watch for it and hit the trial when it comes to be sure.

Yeah more crap for XBLA! No good Wiitarded casual gamers who have destroyed XBLA by making XBLA try to appeal to the Wiitards! Bring on Castle Crashers, SSF2HDR, the Simpsons's Arcade Game, X-ment the arcade game, ect. Not more crap like this.
