    Great game

    I have played this and I really enjoy it....its great for a quick sit down and chill out.  Its a bit like Populous meets the Lemmings.  Your people kind of make their own way from the places you tell them to go and you don't have a lot of control over them, but using your powers you can help them along the way.  I have not finished the game, but I have put a few hours in to it and as a result it does not look that long (single player).  It also offers challenges and a ton of background information (if that is your thing)
     
    Well worth a look and the 1200 pts

I was impressed enough to remember the name so I jumped on it when it came out on XBLM.From Dust separates itself from other God games in that rather than focusing on purely influencing your people, you focus on altering the land in order for them to survive and progress.You play as 'The Breath' a god like entity summ...
