First 10 minutes
Xbox 360
We rarely review XBLA games on Gamersyde, mostly because we don't have time, but in the case of From Dust I would have loved to take the time to write a 10 pages review explaining in details why this game is pretty much unlike any other game out there, and why you SHOULD play it. Unfortunately, I won't have the time, so my impressions and a few videos will have to do it. Still, go buy this game!
Update: Launch Trailer added.
As you may have guessed already, I absolutely adored From Dust. Here is a game that takes a genre that everybody thought dead (God-Games) and add to it a simply mindblowing terrain and physics engine, with a light but sufficient story to help the player get the hang of the various powers associated to its divine excavator. Finishing the story mode at 100% should take about 8 hours, and the challenge mode, some of them quite difficult, adds quite a few more hours to that. The only downside is that the rendering is clearly done at a sub hd resolution, resulting to a slightly blurry image quality, but so many hours of discovery and wonder for 15 euros? No one that understands that games aren't just online shooters should pass the opportunity to play something like this!

EDIT: Well...guess not.
Like bring chaos and destruction?
Also there is gore?
Like people burning alive and pieces of bodies everywhere?

I doubt there is the kind of gore you mentioned, that's just insane, seek help please.

I was really tempted to get the Xbox version, however, I will be getting the PC version via OnLive. That way I get the bonus benefit of not only being able to play it at home, but also of being able to play it even when I am away from home (like on my lunch breaks at work), using my Android tablet.
