Can you manipulate the flow of time – Braid
Posted @ 12:59 PM, September 10 2009, By: BlueWolf72 In Competitions, Steam Games
Number None's popular puzzle-platformer, Braid, is on sale at 66% off ($4.99) this weekend on Steam. To help get the word out we are giving some keys away to this fun game on Steam. I will make the contest very simple. Tell us what you would do if you could time travel. I will send you a private message so you can enjoy this awesome game. I will randomly select 5 lucky winners. Good luck to all!
Braid is a puzzle-platformer, drawn in a painterly style, where you can manipulate the flow of time in strange and unusual ways. From a house in the city, journey to a series of worlds and solve puzzles to rescue an abducted princess. In each world, you have a different power to affect the way time behaves, and it is time's strangeness that creates the puzzles. The time behaviors include: the ability to rewind, objects that are immune to being rewound, time that is tied to space, parallel realities, time dilation, and perhaps more.

Lombardi Interview: Beating Piracy by Making Great Games
Posted @ 12:09 PM, August 1 2009, By: Hectic Glenn In Steam, Steam Games
In a recent interview with Destructoid, Doug Lombardi spoke about the problems of piracy and how Valve have tried to improve their game quality and service via Steam to limit piracy. Having said all that, though, I think that it's probably true to say that gamers tend to have affinity for the games that they like, so if you're doing your job and making a good game, and providing a high level of service for that game at the time of release and post-release, I'm guessing you're probably less of a victim of piracy and trade, because people want to have the full copy, the legal copy, and have all the updates. Doug also talks about how well GameStop do from selling used copies of games as players feel they exhaust the content available and move on, whereas Valve are able to establish a continued fresh experience. Read the full interview here.
