Today I'm gonna actually try to get two games in before my mother and I go bring some friends to see Eagle Eye. So off we go!

1. Braid:

Braid is by far one of the most difficult games I have ever played. Then again I haven't played the whole thing since I don't have a Xbox or Xbox 360, but my friend had the demo for some time and I loved it. He hated it but I don't care what he thinks, he just didn't like it because it's different. Let me try to put this game into perspective for you guys. You play as some guy who did something horrible to a princess and you have to save her or some shit. That's the only problem with this game, the story. There really isn't one, but does that make a game bad? For everybody who wants to say yes, shut your fucking mouth or I'll pour hot wax down your throat and make sure you can never speak again. The puzzles are challenging, and by challenging I mean "playing the old Tetris with a start speed of 8". They are possible but YOU HAVE TO THINK! And that's why I love this game, it helped me find out that out of all videogames, this one had no shooting or killing, so I could tell that the puzzle-solving portion of my brain wasn't DEAD! All in all, Braid is a great game and I highly recommend it.

2. Castle Crashers:

Castle Crashers isn't an artsy game like Braid, but more like something you would assume to be a flash game on Newgrounds, which makes so much sense since Tom Fulp, the creator of Newgrounds, Pico, and Alien Hominid did in fact make this game. What we are looking at here is basically a funny, cutsy, and very dark/bloody Golden Axe (old arcade game you can still find in some places). But does that make the game bad? Hell no! The plot revolves around 4...........3 princesses being kidnapped and you must save them. The reason I said four then three is because when you rescue the last one at the end of the game, it turns out to be Tricky, the infamous clown from Newgrounds.com who first popped up in a flash cartoon where he shows his joy-stick. Don't worry, there are no sexual jokes in Castle Crashers, and this game is kid friendly. Lots of unlockables in the game as well, so many characters to unlock, and so many different spells and pets to collect that you will not want to put the controller down ever. This is a must-have for Xbox owners.
