Man, Braid is tough. It really is. But it's also...oh, who am I kidding, it isn't rewarding. I hated the ending. Seriously? That's the end? That ending is almost worst than Puzzle Agent's.


I am currently playing Braid, I feel like to get all the puzzle pieces there must be some upgrade I get later, but its just not coming. Fucking hard!

No upgrade, but you have to collect all the puzzle pieces to unlock the last area.

I stopped playing Braid on PC when I saw no gamepad support. I hate playing platformers with a keyboard. Is there a patch or anything?

Played through Braid on PS3, and I agree that its not rewarding. I also felt that the platforming was half assed and the puzzles involved too much guess work. So I ended up using a guide. So dissappointing.

Oh well, at least my sister loved it.

Also, Dave, you could always use Xpadder or Joy2Key to get a controller working with it.

Bad Mr. Frosty just molded somebody's face.

While we're at it, I got to the final bosses in Brutal: Paws of Fury and Ballz 3D on the SNES in the last few days, but I just can't beat them. They're cheap as cheap can be, and I'm not a big enough fan of either game to actually want to play until I do beat them, especially Ballz.

Another perfect run. Didn't start off that way as I failed my first two tries, both half way through the game. I approached the game like I would Blaster Master; power up your gun, and use the whip (the equivalent to blaster masters grenade) when in close quarters. With the help of dynamite, the bosses aren't that difficult, it's getting hit anywhere during the game that is frustrating. Luckily, there are enough regenerating enemies that help you earn back your gun and whip powerups.

The graphics and music are amazing, but boy is the ending a let down. I knew with Top Gun to not expect any thing special for an ending, but for some reason I remembered a much better ending with more still shots, a'la sonic the hedgehog. This game is going back into its box for a while, but I enjoyed the challenge and will play it again sometime next year.

Infinity Gene is one of the most addicting shmups I've ever played! This really is a great hidden gem that everyone should try out. At least get the trial version.

Star Guard is a great little indie game for the PC that really picks up in difficulty towards the end. I had a hard time with the final boss.

Finished Sonic for the first time ever. Didn't get all the chaos emeralds, but meh. :)

You get all the emeralds you! Dr.Robotnik is laughing at you. He mocks your trivial accomplishment as he holds the emeralds in his gloved hands, still having control of the Sonic-verse.
