P.B. Winterbottom just another Braid?


2K Play has announced the highly anticipated title, The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom will be available for the XBOX Live Arcade on Feb 17 2010 for 800 Microsoft Pointss. 

Many are speculating that this is just another time bending, 2D sidescrolling adventure not unlike Braid (another XBOX Live Arcade game) however, this is much more.  P.B. Winterbottom is on a quest to steel pies in a silent firm-inspired black and white world.  After initially eating his first Chronoberry pie, he attains the ability to bend time and space and has the ability to clone himself.  While it's gameplays main premise is based around time bending, you must solve puzzles to get from point A to point B including launching yourself through cannons, changing time and cloning yourself all while experiencing the magnificant story that is presented like an old silent film, including subtitles.  If you enjoyed Braid, chances are you will enjoy P.B. Winterbottom, but for different reasons.
