Braid selling a lot, rated very high

by Gus Lanzetta August 12th 2008 10:46 PM CDT0 Comments

Braid is out there stealing the hearts and minds of gamers around the world. But not in a bad way at all.

Jo(nathan) Blow, the game's creator has posted a few of the games real life achievements on the official Braid blog. The first one mentioned is that Braid is now the highest rated Xbox Live Arcade game at Metacritic, where it's also the 10th highest rated game for the Xbox 360, surpassing the aggregate score of Mass Effect.

On the sales side the game is also doing well, with estimate sales at 28.5k copies sold during its first three days of availability. But Mr. Blow apparently blew a lot more cash to make the game and stated that the game needs to sell a lot more for it to break even. Lets hope it does generate profit, if not with the 360 release, with the upcoming PC version.
