Check out the trailor here: www.saw5.com. The trailor is not that long, but it gets you anxious I tell you that!!!

The structure of the game is inherently simple: the player-character, Tim, is on a quest to find The Princess.  To reach her, he must traverse six different worlds populated with bizarre creatures.  In each world, there are puzzle pieces that Tim collects to assemble them, jigsaw style, and make a picture that helps to advance the story (and is necessary to unlock the final world).  Each level itself is a puzzle, with a unique design and solution based on logic and reason.  There is no tutorial mode and limited hints given; the player is encouraged to explore and discover on their own, to experiment and find solutions to the puzzles based on trial-and-error and good, old-fashioned critical thinking.

Tim has the power to rewind time, and has no limitation as to how much he can do so; this means that essentially, Tim never dies.  The player can simply rewind time back to a point before they made the critical error that resulted in player death.  While it's easy to say that this eliminates all sense of challenge and removes any kind of penalty that the player must face for a mistimed jump, Braid does not pretend to be a side-scrolling action game with puzzle elements (as it may appear to be at first); it is through and through a puzzle game, and when the point of the game is to solve puzzles as opposed to reaching a set goal, it makes sense to not penalize the player with death.  Indeed, the enemies are not the obstacles themselves but merely another element of the puzzles one must solve, adding another layer of depth and complexity to the game play.

Speaking of depth and complexity, those are two things that this game is full of, both in game play and more abstract elements of the game.  Each puzzle is extremely well thought out, with a logical solution that may not be obvious at first, but after some experimentation and spending more time planning your approach than executing it, the solution to each puzzle presents itself.  Such mental work makes for a satisfying experience and a sense of accomplishment, something that is not always present with games that involve intense combat or more physically-based challenges.  Each world presents its own form of puzzles, becoming less and less like a traditional platformer and growing more unique as objects unaffected by Tim's ability to rewind time and a constantly-changing flow of time is introduced.  The level and puzzle design is genius, and is punctuated with whimsical graphics and contemplative music.

What the game is really about, however, isn't solving puzzles or killing monsters: its about discovery of self.  I have never seen a game delve so deeply into the metaphysical, not Ico or Shadow of the Colossus or the Metal Gear Solid series.  The game itself is a metaphor for happiness and forgiveness; the story even serves as a puzzle with numerous unanswered questions and a sprawling narrative (told by old-fashioned text) that goes off on tangents and asks big philosophical questions.  It's not even clear if the events of the game are indeed happening.  Are we just experiencing Tim's inner turmoil personified and made physical, so that he may more easily deal with it?  Is the game all just a dream?

Blow says he has no plans on doing a sequel, and that's fine with me.  Braid is a beautiful experience that is just fine on its own, a near-perfect game with no glaring flaws that engages the player on a mental level not seen before; It moves gaming forward and pulls us right along with it.

Mainan mainan bajakan tersebut rata rata berharga Rp.5.000,- hingga Rp.10.000. Sementara untuk kualitas yang lebih baik tersedia cukup jarang di toko toko mainan menengah keatas. Dengan kemasan mika silinder yang bisa sekaligus digunakan sebagai celengan. Untuk jenis ini harganya berkisar antara Rp.25.000 hingga Rp.30.000. Sementara yang asli? Rubik's cube yang asli (yang dibuat oleh perusahaan rubiks.com) Resminya berharga 11 dollar.

Perbedaan kualitas sendiri cukup mencolok... rubiks 5000an nyaris tak akan bertahan sebulan jika diaminkan terus menerus. Sering macet ketika diputar, dan tak memiliki pegas dalam corenya. Untuk cube seharga 25.000an, sangat nyaman digunakan. Pegas, dimensi, dan putarannya sangat nyaman dimainkan bahkan untuk pertama kali. Setelah sebulan, cube jenis ini akan gampang 'mreteli' jika dimainkan serampangan. Untuk cube ori...pada awalnya akan sangat susah diputar. Saking susahnya bisa menurunkan motivasi untuk memainkannya. Agar nyaman digunakan diperlukan lubrikasi dan gunakan sampai kira kira sebulan. Setelah itu, cube akan siap digunakan untuk speedcubing. Lucunya, pada saat cube siap digunakan untuk speedcubing, stiker pada rubiks cube akan mulai mengelupas disana sini sehingga kurang sedap dipandang.

Untuk cube berkualitas lainnya selain yang bermerek asli rubik's cube, ada juga perusahaan bernama v-cube dan eastheen. V-cube dikenal membuat cube dengan dimensi besar 5x5x5, 6x6x6, dan 7x7x7. Untuk cube berukuran 7x7x7 dibuat tidak mutlak kubus, namun menggembung disana sini sehingga menyerupai bola. (Well, gak mirip tapi....you got the point) .

Untuk eastheen, belakangan ini beredar rumor bahwa World Cube Asociation melarang penggunaan cube 4x4x4 eastheen dalam kompetisi resmi. Hal ini dikarenakan pelanggaran hak cipta terhadap rubiks.com

Sementara itu banyak diantara para speedcuber dunia yang menggunakan cube mermerek cubesmith dikarenakan cubesmith merupakan perpaduan antara Rubik's cube dengan D.I.Y cube dari segi kelembutan putaran dan daya tahannya.

Untuk Indonesia sendiri banyak speedcuber yang menggunakan rubik ori dan sedikit diantaranya menggunakan D.I.Y cube.

it has been a hot day
people and images around were melting
now its raining
and i feel so blessed that this rain is wild and angry and cold and loud

i hope it washes the whole world away while i ll be just sitting in my room smoking and watching the grey wall of water as a screen hiding me from the reality i have to face now when you are gone

i have no power the skies does and today we are the team
i love you
i will always love you

never dare you to forget how good i was for those 26 hours for i will never be that again
you have had the best of myself
you have congratulated me with the most sophisticated puzzle i might have ever bumped into
this one will remain on the shelf untouched

you are free to chose the green pill every other time until the red one choses you

no regrets my love
we were blindly walking towards each other
it couldnt have been otherwise

'look, if you had one shot or one opportunity
to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment
would you capture it or just let it slip?'

you didnt let it slip
and this is why you are the king

you are my man
