At 1200 Microsoft Points this is one hell of an expensive game. Braid is a side scrolling platformer with flavours of Super Mario and Donkey Kong to mention just a few. But Braid is not a normal platformer. It has a beautiful art direction and a soothing soundtrack to go with it.

That is when the beauty ends. I am finding the puzzles really frustrating. Naturally they are easy early on, but as the game progresses it seems to go way uphill in the difficulty stakes and way too fast. I have got to a point now where I cannot be bothered to continue it because I simply do not have the logical part of my brain active at the moment.

Maybe I should just listen to the music
