Tiger Woods 09 incorporates a new training mode involving Tiger Wood’s real life coach Hank Haney.

There will of course be the annual tweak of the controls, adding extra control methods for new players and die hard fans alike. With new modes and new courses added to the mix, will the new 09 beat the impressive 08 version?

There will be a downloadable demo of the new game available on Playstationnetwork and Xbox Live on 14th August so stay tuned.

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 :-)
