I already know I'm going to buy it and I'm pretty sure this game has more to say than most and has a lot of meaning hiding under the surface of its experience so I think I'm going to leave that as untarnished as possible. I consumed a lot of the preview media in the run-up to Braid's release but naturally also found out a number of the mechanics in advance, which was half the joy of the experience so I think I might avoid it this time.<br /><br />Other games? Have you seen the footage of 'Bastion'? It's doing some interesting stuff with the narration which responds really immediately and dynamically to your actions and the narrator will be a character you meet in the game as well so it will be interesting to see how that all plays out.<br /><br />:) I remember playing Wetrix at a friend's house one afternoon. It was quite fun.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12640723150250717462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979339353366878191.post-30559331354931425332010-09-08T00:47:06.931+01:002010-09-08T00:47:06.931+01:00Can't say how interesting The Witness is looki...Can't say how interesting The Witness is looking - that Kotaku vid is essential viewing.<br /><br />Does anyone have anything I've missed?Tom Juberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14570661671387482872noreply@blogger.com
