wombat1138Spent all weekend playing "Braid" (the wombat-consort bought it as part of a bundle from Steam, along with "World of Goo" which ate me for a week or so last month).
"Braid" has interesting concepts and beautiful music, but it doesn't have as much replay appeal to me as "Goo" does-- I'm just not good at platform-jumping, and "Braid" has fairly specific solutions for each puzzle instead of being able to mess around with the little Goo dudes in freeform play. And although I did like the frame narrative of "Braid", its integration into actual gameplay seemed fairly cursory until the last level.
Oh well. In the meantime, the wombat-consort has also bought a new game for the Wii that I'm waiting for him to pick up so I can watch it to see if it's interesting, and there's still the rest of the Steam bundle to poke at if I want to.
