Haven’t heard of From Dust? You’re not alone. Many gamers have managed to pass up this extraordinary Xbox Live Arcade title. Here’s why this is a game worth trying out.
Before I begin, I’d like to get something out of the way. From Dust isn’t entirely the first of its kind. Being put into the shoes of a deity has been done many times, and it’s unlikely that this game will be the last, either.
Insider Gaming - "Ubisoft has cancelled yet another game, this time ending development on the Animal Crossing-inspired title Alterra."
HALIFAX (April 14, 2026) – Laid-off Ubisoft workers in Halifax have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a settlement with the video-game giant. The terms of the settlement, including the compensation employees will receive, is confidential.
I can't sit here and act like I know these workers financial situations. And I'm sure nobody wakes up WANTING to go to court. But for the sake of the industry, I wish some of these types of cases made it to trial.
Settlements allow companies to continue to do whatever abusive practices they do. While the trials (should the company lose) would actually force real changes for the better.
But again, I'm not in these workers shoes and I can understand them not wanting to risk it.
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
I recently finished From Dust 100% and it was one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a challenging alternative to shooters & RPGs. :)
It just doesn't interest me. Sorry if this offends you.
I got as far as "xbox live arcade game" then stopped reading. Even if it is good, I can't play it.
curse you ubisoft and your DRM
Oh, I can tell you, From Dust definitely got my attention, but not in a good way though.
