Shippin' Out August 4-8: Braid

"Y have i never heard of this game... lets think... maybe because its not good..." Now that's a reliable system for grading games.

Y have i never heard of this game... lets think... maybe because its not good...

Braid is great. It will massage your brain. Don't miss it.

This week looks like a great week to go to the movies. The Dark Knight, anyone?

Beijing for PC? I can't imagine any keyboard will stand up to all the mashing, because my 360 controller barely did. What a trashy game. Other than that I will try out Braid, cool concept I just don't know if I am int he mood for thinking games at the moment.

Still playing Bad Company so I don't mind the slim pickings.

OK, so MS plan worked with the 'month of arcade' stuff and I decided to look into braid. Other than it looking like a Wii game... sorry, 'nice talk' on: other than it looking like a game where the graphics do not appeal to me personally. It seems like it would be fun, but not enough to actually pay for it. Maybe the demo will convince me otherwise.

Not a cool week!

Luckily when I get Gold on Xbox Live that will keep me busy... other than that... nothing good at all.

Boring list for me.

Cheetah girls looks good maybe.....lol sarcasm

1200MS is too much for an XBLA. Puzzle Quest - probably the best game on XBLA has recognised the need to cut its price to 800 to get the sales it deserves.

this is why i hate microsoft's points system, im guna have to spend like $20 jus to get the amount needed for braid. i dont get it, if there going to sell xbla games for 400, 800, 1200 points why dont they sell exactly that amount?

GO WATCH BATMAN, GREAT MOVIE

braid.. maybe Madden 09 in 1 week! woot

What a sad week. We need something fun to do while the Olympics is going on.

Wow pretty bare this week.

Aw nuts still no Turtles In Time or X-Men Arcade releases.

Yah this week nothing to good but next week. Madden 09 and head coach ooooo ya baby.

Next week is the week of celebratory releases!

sarcasm/ !#@$ Braid, I'm getting Hannah Montana /sarcasm

Um Proman84, where is Boom Blox mentioned in this article?

Boom Blox FTW!

Jeez, $15 is like pocket change. I don't see why so many of you are complaining expecially if it's 10+hours(longer than Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty, another $15 game)

Okay now... I can load up my Nintendo Wii to buy and play a Sega Master System port of a flagship Genesis title? Talk about a circus of values. Someone has to put a stop to this madness! I'm looking forward to trying Braid, but it really would have been a coup de gras for the month if this week was Dishwasher Samurai.

I don't care if Braid is awesome. It's not worth $15.

Bleh, few XBL arcade games are worth $15. I wish they would have kept selling them for $5 like the arcade ports, with new titles going for $10. It's not like they don't make enough money copying code over and over, with little to no overhead.

Pretty boring week IMO.

i should have known that ms would try to overprice braid

I'll just download the trial so I can have another entry in the Summer of arcade contest...

Braid looks great but god...$15!? Damn greedy Microsoft! Lots of people will pass on this great game because of this, plus those buying are paying a but much.

$15 for Braid? I would easily pay ten but now this is a maybe. I'll have to wait for some reviews to see things like replay value or how long it actually lasts to see If I wanna buy now. Otherwise I'll wait for a price-drop.

My PSP feels neglected.

nuthing....

yes Monster Madness !!

$15 for Braid? Lame! This game was done on a shoestring budget.

braid for 1200 points? screw that.

Very slow week......

rather dry week for pc

woo Splatterhoues 2!

Good thing nothing is coming out it will give me some time to watch Starship Troopers 3.

Can't wait for Braid!

I forgot that Grid was coming on the DS so I'll have to take a look at that for sure. Looks like a quiet week for me. Gives me time to finish up a couple more games in my back log before Madden hits next week.

Sony has not yet announced it's PlayStation Network releases for the week. Hey proofreaders, you missed something.

OMG i can't wait for Hannah Montana: Spotlight World Tour for ps2 :)

Wasn't Megaman supposed to come to the VC?

Well, a slow week.... I'll probably still be getting Monster Madness: Grave Danger, I loved Zombies Ate my Neighbors and I loved the demo, especially the huge arsenal of guns you can make and upgrade (over a hundred weapons). I thought it would be coming out on the PSN though and not in stores... Too bad, guess I'll have to make a trip to the Ebee then :) Too bad the XBox only has Braid coming out, but like they said maybe more people will notice it because of that hopefully...
