From Dust (Xbox 360)




Finally, something different.

Recently, the entire gaming industry has been swamped with a myriad of shooters, and it's great to see a change of pace. Leave it to Ubisoft to make something new, and exciting.

The game itself can be somewhat hard to describe to others that have not had any first hand experience with it. Essentially, you are playing as "The Breath" an entity that has the ability to manipulate the elements, and in the process; help the villagers unlock the mystery of the ancients.

Initially, you have the power to absorb different materials, and place them at suitable locations that will help your villagers. In example; you can form a bridge out of earth, and the villagers themselves will be able to move across it.

As the game progresses; you will be faced with much more intimidating natural disasters that will force you to think, and be quick with your actions. This forces the player to develop, and deploy strategies that are quite worthwhile, and rewarding to watch.

Thankfully, the game itself has sold rather well, and a sequel should be in the works. I strongly urge everyone to download the demo! You'll be more than happy with the results.
