    "And the last thing the little jungle dude saw before his entire village was wiped clean from the earth was a mysterious gap begin to form in the dirt wall surrounding his village. As the sad, lonely faces of his village elders and people began to bounce off the walls of his mud hut, silently mouthing "Help... Me", he realized that today was the day. The day when the vengeful God he had sanged and danced for suddenly decided to divert the course of the river into his home. As he struggled above the waterline for his last, desperate breath, he was at least thankful that this was just a demo..."
     
    Yes my friends, From Dust is probably the most evil game I've played in a long time. Two levels took me about 2 hours to complete after feeling the raw power of planet changing coursing through my God-like fingers. First on the menu? Create a massive wall of earth, making the little jungle peoples think they were safe. Protected. Loved. Then I created a massive atoll island. And again the little jungle peoples thought that their God was giving them a nice view to behold and that they were still loved and safe.  
     
    But I grew tiresome of their constant thumping and drum beating. Their melodies no longer pleased me. No, too much time had passed. Their wicked ways and primitive minds held no love for their master. They MUST BE TAUGHT TO OBEY! LET LOOSE THE ATOLL! KILL THEM ALL!!!!!!! 
     
    And with that, the village was no more. 
     
    Yeah, I totally must get From Dust when it comes down in price, or else I'm going to start going back to magnifying glasses and ants. : (
