    Incredible game. Has anyone purchased this yet? I'm blown away by the demo but don't currently have the funds to purchase (1200 pts).

    One of a kind game. You play God, and help your tribe of men/women survive natural disasters. Graphics are beautiful. However, the developers really screwed up because they could've easily sold this game as a regular Xbox 360 release and charged $60 for it. Well worth it.

    I played it 20 years ago when it was Populous.

    FYI, this is designed by Eric Chahi, the guy behind Out of This World/Another World:

    He hasn't really been that involved in the game industry for a while, but he returned to it to make this game.

    I haven't followed it as much as I should have, but from what little I've seen, it look pretty cool. Disappointed that they delayed the PC version, but I'll probably check it out. Sounds like it is selling well, which should bode well for additional content. They've mentioned adding a lot more to the game if there was a good reception:
