...it IS a good game, isn't it?
I love a good brain twister and this is just the ticket, easy it ain't! :D
Grabbed it from the PS store on release day, but only got round to playing it last night.
Anyone else got it?
 
It's a challenge thinking in several time 'layers' at once, but very rewarding when you suss out a real bugger of a level. Definitely one to avoid with a hangover though! ;)

Yeah, I like Trine as well, reminds me a bit of the game 'Imogen' that I used to play on my BBC Micro many many years ago.
There's a free PC remake of Imogen online if you're interested, it's easy enough to find via google and definitely worth it.
 
Braid was awesome, although some of the later puzzles has me in "WTF" mode for a while, especially the world where you have an alternate dimension version of yourself.
 
I have Braid and have only managed to complete the first two worlds so far :-/ Still can't decide whether to grab Trine while it's £8?
 
I absolutely loved Trine, fatastic platformer. Needs more enemy variety, but other than that, awesome.

Braid was great too - I did have to cheat once, though. And have you read people's interpretation of the story? Stories of atom bombs, and if the PC is some nutjob stalker etc...very strange!

Trines worth £8 - what it should have been priced at - its a very accomplished platformer...

Absolutely definitely grab Trine at that price, it's not as 'thinky' as Braid, but it's a whole lot prettier, plus you can play local co-op I think.
 
You need to grab Trine if you liked games such as The Lost Vikings from back in the day. I brought Braid months ago only got a chance to play it now as Im bored at work.....these dame puzzles!!!!!
 
I always said Braid was fantastic. :p

The real puzzle is to understand the story though. ;) Easier if you manage to find all the hidden stars for the alternate ending though. :p

this game is great, i played it through in one sitting and went on to complete the speed run challenge time, the puzzles are awsome and i loved the ending
 
I think I must be the only person in the world who hates Braid. Played the trial version and just couldn't get on with it. Didn't see the appeal with the jumping/rewinding action :S
 
i thought Braid was a great game let down by the somewhat high price for what is quite a short game.

it supposed to be 560points on LIVE in the next few days. a buy at that price.

That is supposed to be today. It doesn't appear to be on offer though.

i was the same but the demo doesnt give you the full picture, at first it seems simple but in later levels more and more elements are added that change the fundemental way you use that ability
