‘Braid’ shot straight to the top of the Xbox Live marketplace, and helped to fuel the indie video game trend that continues to grow today. It was created by Jonathan Blow over multiple years, and has been met with fantastic reviews from critics. With his follow-up game ‘The Witness’ on a similar path to success, we began to wonder if Blow may be a modern gaming genius. His games certainly have a distinct style to them, and have proven to be a refreshing approach to video game design. Let us know if you would classify Blow as a video game genius in the comments!
