They like it the same as the other consoles, perhaps even more.

Rath: Just because Gamespot was revealed to "sell" review scores doesn't mean the other sites aren't guilty of it. Besides, why would an Xbox Live title from a small developer have reviews that were paid for? Grand Theft Auto 4 or Brawl would make sense, as they're large games with large budgets that are dependant on review scores to sell. Braid is, from what I've gathered, a small title so it's highly possible that it's just a good game.

 ign gave it an 8.8



tag:"reviews only matter for the real hardcore gamer"

Bah, anybody who gives Braid less than a 10.0 is a philistine. Clearly this reviewer lacks the opposable thumbs to properly evaluate this game.



Wow, at 92 it's currently between Rock Band and Mass Effect in Metascore.



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

 

Doesn't anyone see the Super Mario Brothers similarity to the point of plagiarism?

Admittedly, yes. All the rewinding, different flows of time, doppelganger co-op stuff has been done to death. Fortunately Braid doesn't rely solely on such trite platform conventions and brings some true innovations to the aging genre. Like, check this- you can jump on enemies' heads to kill them!
