Braid for $5 on Steam is a pretty sweet deal, I'd say photo

Instead of spending five bucks on lackluster fast food at one of those late night joints, why not use the money to fund an exciting purchase of Braid from Steam? Forget about "going back in time" potions, the game has got dinosaurs in it.

Now, as we all know, dinosaurs are badass. Sometimes, they wear futuristic armor that let's them go PEW PEW PEW. Other times, they make otherwise crappy games somewhat tolerable. And in a fight against dragons, they could totally come out victorious, even as the underdog.

Sure, a few of the smaller dinosaurs would be charred to death, but there's enough variety that the dinosaurs would ultimately win the epic struggle of badass versus badass2 by overwhelming their foes.

In other words, by purchasing Braid, you are pledging your support for dinosaurs. Make the right choice, or suffer the consequences.

Steam's weekend deals are always awesome.

It's almost annoying, since I like to buy retail and they often tempt me into submission.

As for Braid, I bought it at release due to the praise the console version got. It was quite good, especially the music and mood.

Gah. They're having way too many repeats on the weekend sale lately. DoW2 followed by the Relic collection... The Indie collection followed by this... Hopefully this'll be one of the weekends where they have multiple sales.

Despite the fact that I own this on 360, I still want this version... Maybe I'm just addicted to sales?

I still don't like this game. Nice to see it as such a low price though.

$5 for one of the best games ever made? Everybody who reads this should leap on this deal like a spider monkey.

Calm down there buddy. You're at a 10 you need to be at a 2. Not every game is for everyone, especially a game like this that requires a lot of patience and puzzle solving.

Is the disclaimer really necessary? We're all free-thinking citizens and Shadowiii is yet to gain the power to determine what we choose to play! :)

That's what YOU think, you poor fool! I've already used my patented MIND TAKING to convince everybody on this thread to purchase Braid!
Mwahaha! And again, Mwahaha, I say!

I wish it was $5 on 360...not because of achievements, but because I'm not a big fan of computer gaming (I'd like to, especially Valve games, but I'm not dedicated enough to upgrade a computer and my laptop sucks)

Still, might just have to get this!

Ridiculous considering all the trash that sells for $60 dollars.
