Something more like Populous the beginning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uW35sV5OSgU

It's a "God game". Basically you're the god and those people are your followers or minions ;-P

You can manipulate the environment to help your people or destroy an opposing tribe (At least that was what happened in Populous)
So for example build a lava flow into an other tribes village or create a volcano in the middle of it.

Looks amazing. It's funny how people don't know what Populous is. They probably think Peter Molynuex's first game was Fable. I didn't even realize this was a console game. Pretty wild quality for an XBLA game.

If only EA hadn't purchased Bullfrog, we would still be receiving classics like Populous, Dungeon Keeper, Theme Hospital and Syndicate...

Because games are only good if they come on a disc. Not many people know that most of the fun is created by the physical motion of the disc spinning.
