Braid’s Out Today

August 6th, 2008 by John

We’ve been waiting for this one for ages now, but Braid has finally been released. Those of you who listen to Drunken Gamers Radio may remember our interview with Number None, the makers of Braid, back on our May 18th episode. David Hellman, the brilliant artist responsible for Braid’s visuals, sent over this graphic shortly after the interview.

We’ve had a chance to play about an hour of the game so far and have found this to be one of the most unique, original, and dare we say delightful games on the Xbox Live Arcade. A combination of old-school platformer with deliberate nods to classics like Super Mario Bros., and collection-based puzzle games, Braid is as engrossing to watch and listen to as it is to play.

The demo’s up on XBLA, and we encourage you to not only check out the official website but also David Hellman’s blog where you can find more of his artwork.

Oh, and this is bad ass…
