In 2008, an Xbox Live Arcade game became a sudden hit thanks to clever and challenging puzzles, a memorable art style, and a gameplay mechanic that relied heavily on time manipulation. It’s been nearly two years since Braid became a breakout indie title, with few downloadable games achieving the same level of notoriety since then. The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom, a new XBLA game developed by The Odd Gentlemen, also has a unique aesthetic, and uses time manipulation as its major puzzle-solving gameplay technique. Despite having a lot in common with Braid on paper, P.B. Winterbottom is one of the most original games on Xbox Live Arcade, providing a challenging, charming, and genuinely fun light-hearted adventure.
