From Dust allows you to play God. You can manipulate the environment to help a tribe survive mother nature. You can't actually control the people of the tribe though. We've heard about this "god sim" for a while and it sounds interesting but we had to find out how it played. Check out our hands-on E3 impressions.
"In the demo, my goal was to send a group of people to a sculpture that held the knowledge for how to protect their village against an impending tsunami, then return them back home before a timer counted down. The trouble was that the passage to their goal was blocked off by a an intimidating stream. This left it to me to sculpt the terrain in a way conducive to the populace.
To grant safe passage across the water I had to grab clumps of soil from other parts of the map and displace them on top of the water until a bridge formed. This worked, but took a long time, and seconds before my the city's hero could make it back, the tsunami came and wiped everyone out."

You need to update the release date on the E3 preview. The game is listed on xbl as a summer of arcade release. December does not qualify for summer (expectantly in the north east)
