Surprised that no one seems to have mentioned this game yet. I just played the demo at a friend's house who has a 360, and it's pretty fun. The basic premise is that it is a platformer where you can make time go backwards -- reminding me very much of TASing (or Sands of Time but much less limited as far as I know) Anyone else played it? Is the rest of the game as fun as the demo? I'm totally getting it if/when they come out with a pc version :)

Haven't played it, but I have played a game with similar premise- Chronotron. Free, online, flash. http://www.kongregate.com/games/Scarybug/chronotron I have read about Braid, though. One of its worlds works like Chronotron- you play, rewind, and your duplicate does what you did the first time to help you. There was another game I played whose name I forget where you played as a pair of llamas, that functioned similarly- two players played by one. Of course, in Chronotron, you get unlimited (afaik) rewind duplicates per level- at least, until you manage to set up one of their deaths/non-returns to time machine, in which case you must restart the level.

(or Sands of Time but much less limited as far as I know) It's actually the opposite. You have more powers then sands of time and you have an infinite number of rewinds unlike the limited ones in Prince of Persia...It's a wonderful game and worth the buy. One of the achievements is to do a speed run of the whole game in under 45 minutes btw.

Hm sounds interesting. I just bought Castle Crashers recently and I have been eyeing that Bionic Commando remake... Maybe I will check this out also, at least the demo. I wish I could download this on some kind of emulator though.
