Before I invite the wrath of the internetz, let me say this-- I thought Braid was brilliant.  I just finished it tonight and I absolutely loved it.

So why wouldn't I recommend Braid to everyone and don't think everyone should buy it?

Braid isn't an easy game.  It's hard.  Unless you really like puzzle games and playing games where you can't just brute force your way around most puzzles you won't like the game.  You're going to get stuck on a puzzle (or likely most puzzles actually) and have to resort to a faq.  The moment you start using that faq you've completely ruined the game for yourself.

And that's why I don't think everyone who has a 360 should run out and buy Braid.  If you love puzzle games, stop reading this and buy/play Braid now if you already haven't, otherwise, avoid it like the plague.
