GAMEPLAY: Braid and Red Dead Redemption

By source, FAIR USE: Wikipedia entry

  On GAMEPLAY this week: two games which each deal in their own ways with the concept of time. 

 

We’ll begin with a look at music from 2008’s fascinating Braid, in which you control the flow of time itself, rewinding your actions to solve mind-bending puzzles against a backdrop of gorgeous watercolor visuals. 

 

Then, we’ll enjoy music inspired by the scores of Spaghetti Western films from 2010’s Red Dead Redemption, in which former outlaw John Marston tries to escape his past on the old American frontier.

This week’s full episode and playlist are available below
