If you own an Xbox 360, it is imperative that you go buy Jonathan Blow's newly released game Braid immediately. There are lots of good reasons to do this, for example, the game is unique, beautiful, subtly meaningful, and important. But if that's not convincing, or you think it's not your style, or whatever other excuse might come to mind, I'll give you a more fundamental reason: Jon has spent the last couple years working on the game, practically alone (David Hellman composed the terrific evocative art for the game), and its important to support that sort of creativity and persistence in our medium. I'll write something more substantial about Braid soon enough. For now, you can catch up on news and reviews via the Braid blog.
