Review by Jean Snow:
"Braid single-handedly manages to combine two genres -- puzzles and 2-D platforming -- in order to create a genuinely satisfying new kind of play experience, while including an emotional subtext that will leave you thinking about the game long past having finished it.
For a game released on Xbox Live Arcade, Jonathan Blow's long-awaited and much-talked-about title sure doesn't feel like your average downloadable release. It's hard to define just what makes Braid such a memorable play experience without covering all of its different elements first, so let's start."

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.

I've just redeemed knights quest needs GP/gold membership etc
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.
has a certain ambience to it when you're playing. Hope Jonathan Blow makes a sequel. One of the first arcade games I actually played through.
