Xbox Website (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/b/braidxboxlivearcade/) (And it's already released so check it out if you own a 360)
It's main influence is Super Mario Bros. but also read that it takes influences from, as designer Johnathon Blows saids: "Italo Calvino's "Invisible Cities," David Lynch's "Mulholland Dr.," the music of the Dirty Three... and probably a bunch of stuff that I am not remembering right now."

The music makes you want to fall asleep peacefully (also likes to have you to reflect on your own life and itself)

Also seems to be the highest rated XBLA title ever.

I may give this a try soon because of all the positive reviews but the quality of the games is being overshadowed by the outcry over the price :(

Actually, from what I've read, it's not really getting enough publicity.

Most XBLA games don't get enough coverage which is a shame but if you go on a video game forum people are either praising the game play or complaining about the price for this.
