They say “God works in mysterious ways”, but the truth is, God just kinda accidentally dropped lava all over that village while trying to make a pretty crag. What’s a bit of collateral damage in the context of divine creation, anyway?<\/p>\n
So From Dust – the game where you can drop lava on stuff, among other things – has just come into wondrous being on the Xbox LIVE Arcade.<\/p>\n
According to the official marketing, it’s “a unique Modern God game where nature is the star: From Dust, the latest original concept by Eric Chahi, visionary creator of Another World. Behold the beauty of a primitive world pulsing with life and face the might of nature. Beware the danger of a world that is constantly changing under your command. Control the destiny of a tribe struggling to survive and help it recover its ancestors’ lost powers. Immerse yourself in a world as exotically beautiful as it is dangerous. A universe where Nature reclaims what is Hers; and you are your people’s only chance of survival.”<\/p>\n
According to me, it’s pretty cool. (Read Tarryn’s review<\/a>)<\/p>\n The game’s tagged at 1200 MSP, and weighs in at a chunky 1.15 GB (the burden of responsibility or something). You can queue it up over here.<\/a><\/p>\n
