I finished off worlds 3 and 4 in Braid tonight, after a few more “aha!” moments. Platforms and enemies that seemed to be completely pointless at first glace often turn out to be the key to the puzzle in hindsight. I wish I could say more, but it’s a game that really should be played without any spoilers. Completing a world also lets you piece together a simple jigsaw puzzle for that level, creating scenes that will probably turn out to be meaningful once more of the story is revealed.

I also tried out the demo for Pixeljunk Eden on the PS3. It’s an…interesting game, even if I barely had any idea what I was doing. Too interesting for me, probably, as I never do well with games with weird control schemes like the tethered swinging around in this one.
