Braid is the closest I’ve seen videogames come to literature. The best literature is always about something else - not the plot, but deeper themes. And Braid feels like that, to me. Everything in that game, from the story, to the specific mechanics all tie into the greater theme.
It’s just a masterpiece.

Many highly intelligent people make this mistake. John Carmack’s tirade against music notation is a topical example.
