If you've followed the Braid story at all, it's been incredible to see the hype mount behind this indie game. It seems to have brewed the perfect storm of a highly regarded developer, along with a timely release on the Xbox 360, and a game that just plain looks cool. It hit the Xbox marketplace on August 6th for 1200 points.
When you look past the all-star developer, the months of articles leading up to the release, Microsoft pushing for the 1200 point price, and all that, what you have left is an impressively unique platformer. The game is quite Mario-like (it is an homage in some ways), and you basically walk around, jumping when necessary, sometimes landing on enemies to kill them. There is even a save-the-princess spin to the storyline, which ends up being interesting enough to follow, but not make the game.

Nice list.
I’ll add 9th Dawn III to that list. Great game made by one person.
Always Sometimes Monster is made by two people technically, but let’s do an honorable mention.
Technically speaking Minecraft should have been on the list. But it's nice to see these single devs thrive.
Theyr is no game made by one man. Theyr is always a team of developers behind them.
However there is always someone who comes up with the idea of a game.
When i would give an example of one man with that idea for me its Hideo Kojima....
Microsoft is offering three additional free games for all Xbox Live Gold subscribers in addition to the regular lineup of games this month.
And still the contradiction of getting something for "free" from a service you pay for continues.

KeenGamer: "Time manipulation concepts have been the foundation of many great games, including these 5 greats which do the them justice. Because every Back to the Future fan needs a bit more time manipulation to fulfil their time traveling fantasies."
Im thankful Quantum Break ended up here! The only thing that stopped this game from being talked up was Xbox exclusivity and the live action scenes being way too long...
Otherwise, it's basically Control with lighter visuals
TimeSpinner is a good time based metroidvania.
Also, Singularity rocks a a time-theme Bioshock-like FPS.
