Gamescom "From Dust" 'til Dawn
The game, From Dust, looks to be one of the most advanced nature simulations ever conceived. You play as an omnipresent being, sculpting and shaping the land as you please. However, once you have completed your sculpting, mankind emerges. As the first developer diary says, "Man will influence, but not control." Look down below for the tech demo. From Dust will release in 2011, and is being published by Ubisoft.

Gotta say folks, I'm going to keep this one on the radar. Seems like it would be a refreshing experience to play something that's not a shooter.
