Recommend me some puzzle games like Braid or Portal.

Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

I really enjoyed completing ChuChu Rocket's puzzle mode. I guess it's not really "like" Braid or Portal, but it's a fun game.

There's my review of Lucidity for XBLA. I believe they released it on Steam as well. I really enjoyed this game, hopefully others will discover it in this topic as well. It's like an action/puzzle game. Think Lemmings meets Tetris.

Also, I've heard that P.B. Winterbottom is supposed to be pretty good, although I haven't tried the demo just yet.

I concur w/ whoever said Lost Vikings, which I fell in love with after playing the Super NES version, which was after seeing the review for the GBA port on X-Play.

Also, it spawned a sequel, Lost Vikings 2. But it's called Norse by Norsewest on the PC, Saturn and PlayStation.

We need a new Lost Vikings game.

I came up with an idea akin to Lost Vikings years ago ('03, I think). It was a concept for a sci-fi Xbox game with four characters with different abilities that you used to navigate the levels.

Also, check out the puzzle games on this site, which is a great resource for freeware games. They also have a Mac, Linux and Flash section.

Blocksum.

You can find it on that site I told you all about.

It's a great PC puzzle game that's totally worth checking out. And it's addictive.

What about Oddworld, Abe's Odyssey? I only vaguely remember watching someone else play it, but it was puzzlish.

Wow, no one has mentioned Crush on the PSP yet. It's certainly in the same vein as games like Braid or Portal
