From Dust set for PlayStation Network this month
PlayStation Network is still getting Ubisoft's From Dust, in case the wait had you thinking otherwise. This release is now set for September 14 in Europe and September 27 in North America. Almost there! How has From Dust been treating you? I held off originally because the PC version seemed like an easy choice, what with sandbox-style games usually flourishing on the platform, but that didn't turn out so well. Haven't had the time or energy to grab it on Live Arcade yet. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I'm glad to see it will be released soon. I really don't mind delays so much. I don't get pissed because of what others have, and I'm fairly used to this sort of thing by now. Now I just need a Rock of Ages PSN date and I'll be content waiting for both of these to roll around. When I first saw this I couldn't wait to download it. Now that I know what it's all about it's a harder sell. 10:00 AM on 12.03.2011 Ubisoft gets sweaty over digital distributionI wonder how long it will be until people look at me with wide eyed amazement when I regale them with tales of leaving my home, jumping on a bus, going into town, walking into an actual building and handing over physical mone...
