Always wanted to review this, and it's definitely hard to get across how Braid isn't pretentious without sounding so yourself. I think the review overcame this obstacle handedly, and made it clear on why the game is flatly good no matter how you look at it.

I was one of those guys who didn't get Braid's story- or rather, I got bits and pieces of it, but had to eventually dig up a story faq to understand the whole concept. As you portray very clearly here, though, Braid had a brilliance beyond the story and the nature of that story wouldn't have worked if it weren't done so secretively and in such a subtle manner.

I decided to just axe the screens instead. Either full size or miniature, they don't look appealing. I could use Frapps to grab some new ones, but with the way my current computer runs, that could take days.

Ah, too bad! You could jump online and find some non-copyrighted images. I think they add a lot, since a big part of Braid is that indescribable aesthetic.
