If you’ve been following gaming at all this year, you know that indie Xbox Live Arcade game Braid won over the heart of just about every person who played it. The beautiful aesthetic, enjoyable music, and challenging, mesmerizing combination of puzzles and platforming made for possibly the best downloadable game experience of the year. However, those without a 360 have been missing out on this wonderful gaming experience, which is a shame. There is good news for at least some of you, though. According to developer Jonathan Blow on his blog, Braid will be coming to the PC in first quarter 2009.

Originally slated for late 2008, the PC version of Braid was pushed into 2009 so it wouldn’t get lost in the holiday shuffle. Don’t worry, Apple fanboys; Blow states that he is also in talks to make a Mac version of the game. He also reiterates that he is open to the possibility of a PS3 adaptation down the line, as long as Sony shows some interest. I’m usually not much of a PC gamer, but I’m guessing the PC version might have an active modding community with user-created levels. If that is the case, I may just have to buy the game again.
