From Dust (Ubisoft)

Available on Xbox 360: Xbox Live Arcade

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. The game centers around a tribe which needs a safe haven in the tempest of a cruel Earth. Tsunamis, volcanoes, shifting land, it’s not easy for these nomads, which is why they call upon you, “the breath.” You follow a group of mysterious wanderers who are searching for “the ancients.” The real fun is how you can alter the landscape with your immense powers. There are usually obstacles like a giant lake or persistent fires and you have the ability to collect large amounts of earth or water (along with many other special powers) to reconstruct the landscape. The game is fantastically challenging in some levels, which means you’ll be coming back again and again until you finally figure out the puzzle. With stunning visuals and compelling god-like powers this is a great value for a few Microsoft points.
