After only a few days on the market, the time bending platform puzzler
Braid has been tearing up the critical charts. According to the
official Braid blog, the game is now the highest rated
Xbox Live Arcade game yet released. It currently holds a
92 average on Metacritic and
93 on Game Rankings. According to Metacritic,
Braid is in fact the tenth highest rated Xbox 360 game. The game edges out
Mass Effect and is currently tied with
Guitar Hero II and
Rock Band. With one more percentage point
Braid would become the eight highest rated 360 title.
Additionally, the official
Braid blog reports that the
VGChartz estimate that the game has sold about 28.5 thousand units "seems to be in the right neighborhood" but adds that "a lot more" will be needed before the game becomes profitable.
