Braid is a wonderful game, for anybody who hasn't played it. Probably one of my top 3 favorites of all time. I really enjoyed this talk, the bit about optimizing for years of my life per program implementation (life) was great.

If Braid is in your top three, I'm curious: what other games do you really like?

[aperiodic → Martijn]

Braid is in my top three alongside Ico/Shadow of the Colossus and Civilization IV.

[to3m → aperiodic]

I'm sorry, but I do believe that the size of your top 3 is in fact... 4 :)

(I really rate SOTC, but never really got on with Ico. Not the same game at all!)

Actually he only says it is beside those other games, and not explicitly that they are in the top 3 too :P

[fletchowns → Martijn]

I would say Half Life 1 and Banjo Kazooie (N64) would also be in my top 3, not sure what order though :)

Now I'm curious what your top 10 looks like. With BK and Braid in the top maybe it's just an affinity with anything containing jigsaw puzzle pieces? =P
