Valve has just announced that Steam's ever expanding library of games has now grown to include the hit indie title, Braid. Come March 31st, you'll be able to download it straight to your PC for $14.99. It's great to see Steam continue to grow and expand, despite the crappy economic conditions. If you haven't checked out Braid yet and don't feel like playing it on the console, this would be a great time to give it a look.

BRAID COMING TO STEAM

AIAS Casual Game of the Year Available March 31

February 25, 2009 - Valve today announced an agreement to distribute Braid, the innovative title named AIAS Causal Game of the Year, via Steam, a leading platform for the delivery and management of PC games. Created by Jonathan Blow, Braid is a multi-award winning title that blends platform and puzzle game play with time manipulation. The game features a rich story and plays out across seven unique worlds, each its own time-based game mechanic. The Steam version of Braid will also leverage Steamworks for integration of Achievements and Steam Community features. "Braid is arguably the strongest example of what can be accomplished by an independent game designer," said Jason Holtman, director of business development at Valve. "From GDC to DICE, the title has deservedly collected numerous accolades and, along with World of Goo, Audiosurf and many others, is redefining the way people think about 'Independent Games.'" Available for $14.99 (12.99 EUR, 9.99 Pounds Sterling), Braid is due for launch via Steam on March 31, 2009. For more information, please visit www.steamgames.com

I admit I haven't looked into Braid at all since it came out, but I may have to see what all the fuss is about. Have any of you played Braid?
