Eric Chahi’s distinctive god-game From Dust is now available through the Google Chrome store for a discounted price of $US9.99. The game was one of the more pleasant surprises of last year.
2011 saw its share of disappointments, but it was also a year that contained a good number of nice surprises. Some were games we just didn’t see coming — they snuck up on us and grabbed us with their excellence. Others were games that we thought were going to be terrible or at best so-so, but which would up being terrific.
It’s a game that has taken out multiple awards and received raving reviews, even from the Kotaku readers. Unfortunately, the fun was restricted to Xbox 360 users. Now, PlayStation 3 owners will also be able to see what the fuss is all about when From Dust comes to PSN tomorrow.
Announced yesterday for a September 27 release on the PlayStation Network, god-game From Dust has had its delivery date moved up two weeks to September 13. It’s still $US14.99. Because some have wondered, no, the game does not support PlayStation Move.
That an entire console worth of gamers haven’t experienced Eric Chahi’s glorious strategy game From Dust weighs is a shame, but a shame that will be rectified come September 27 when the game hits the PlayStation Network for $US14.99.
