But as far as story, emotional response, complete gorgeousness, nothing (as far as Arcade/PSN games go) can compare to Braid. It even beats most full retail games at those things to. And that last level! What a masterpiece. Get this game on PSN NOW! I think the only puzzle game that has came close to Braid for hair pulling frustation has been Kuruchi on the original PS.

And "...Pirates!" was on the 'Store this week wasn't it? This aside, I wanted to buy "Bionic Commando: Rearmed" for my kids, but they struggle with the "Hack the enemy network" section. Plus the "Challenge Mode" levels were, erm, challenging. I just went to look up the IGN scoring... "Outstanding" & "9.4". GameRankings have it at an average of 87.2% for the PS3. GameSpot (and GameDaily) 'only' gave it 80%, with Games(tm) saying 70%. GBP 6.99 too, isn't it? Maybe I'll wait for a sale... BFN, fp. @26 [Obli]:
