    Re: Braid

    I thought it was fun...

    Ok not 9.5 but fun all the same.
    Maybe the full game has something extra that I haven't experienced.

    Glad I still have my old consoles even if they are a faff setting up.

    Well... erm... of course it does, it has the rest of the game.

    No game will seem like a 9.5 game from the demo, any more than a film can win an oscar from the trailer.
