2nd time I ever won a game. First was in the Destroy All Humans GAF contest...where most of us never got the game. I guess this is payback.

Decent game, pretty fun playing a game to your own music instead of EA TRAX or whatever bullshit.

Post by: tiesto on December 17, 2008, 10:20:38 PM: Just played some World of Goo... pretty fun, although it seems like it could get really difficult.
Title: Re: Spike giving away a few arcade games - worth a shot - emails are sent
Post by: BobFromPikeCreek on December 18, 2008, 03:23:57 AM: That Doritos game was better than Braid.

Post by: demi on December 18, 2008, 05:12:43 PM: Guess I should read more books
Title: Re: Spike giving away a few arcade games - worth a shot - emails are sent
Post by: Bebpo on December 18, 2008, 05:17:38 PM: Braid has good gameplay and music.
The story is lolz and the visuals are debatable.
The last stage is kind of cool.
Oh and the game is really short.
/End of debate.
Title: Re: Spike giving away a few arcade games - worth a shot - emails are sent
Post by: Madrun Badrun on December 18, 2008, 05:18:45 PM: ya demi they will prepare you for the emotional thrill ride that is braid's magnificent story.
Title: Re: Spike giving away a few arcade games - worth a shot - emails are sent
Post by: demi on December 18, 2008, 05:19:53 PM: The story of Jonathan Blow on why he overcharged his game so he "didn't have to get a job"

Epic, telling, emotional
Title: Re: Spike giving away a few arcade games - worth a shot - emails are sent
Post by: Madrun Badrun on December 18, 2008, 05:23:11 PM: seriously though how can people fault the gameplay? it's great.
Title: Re: Spike giving away a few arcade games - worth a shot - emails are sent
Post by: fistfulofmetal on December 18, 2008, 05:37:23 PM: I don't have much interest in collecting puzzle pieces or solving the puzzles. I get why people would really like it as the puzzles are pretty clever.

I just don't care to bother myself with them.
Title: Re: Spike giving away a few arcade games - worth a shot - emails are sent
Post by: BobFromPikeCreek on December 19, 2008, 01:38:25 AM: The solutions to the puzzles in Braid feel like you're doing it wrong even when you're doing it right. Plus it's littered with hippie bullshit.

Post by: trh on December 19, 2008, 02:05:50 PM: Was rather :yuck learning all the rooms and not making too many mistakes. Frustrating stuff. They really oughta have made it separate parts for each world and your total time combined should be like 40:00 (rather than 45:00 in one sitting), restarting a game after spending 40 minutes on it was not fun.
