However, that doesn't appear to be the case - VG247 have apparently heard back from an Ubi source with the following definitive statement: "From Dust will not require a permanent online connection to play in single-player mode". So there's some good news there for gamers.
Check out more on this cool looking title on our game page. Looking forward to it!

Announce all your popular games with onerous DRM and build up some outrage where fans will probably bite the bullet and buy it anyway. Then, announce the risky ones that might not sell as well as being DRM free and wait for the sounds of rejoicing that they haven't screwed customers as hard this time.

$13.74 AU at the time that I bought it :D. With the currency ratios inverted now we are as the gods. (short of local markups still)

Though I think that one was for consoles, a hopefully more accurate PC one.

YES IT IS! Awesome, I'm really looking forward to this game. Populous was a really cool RTS game, instead of you being a commander you were actually a shaman and your goal was to reach godhood by conquering other tribes.
No Mac :(

greazy - If you never checked out the Black & White games, I highly recommend it, I think they were largely made by the same people as Populous 3. I still play Pop3 + B&W1&2 from time to time, such good games. Black & White had some crazy A.I. stuff worked into it as well - learning avatars based on all sorts of conditions, learning villagers depending on how much you did or did not over-compensate for them.

While I didn't get right into it, my friends loved it and I remember them teaching their avatars to through villagers around. Hilarious.

Nerf: Demo was on xbox live arcade. And most of the complaints with the xbox version revolve around the poor controls so I'm definitely going to get the pc version.

Yeah I can imagine that being the case. Thankfully I'd never heard of the first until somehow getting my hands on a copy, and was blown away. Personally thought that the first was far better in terms of immersion, but the campaign became progressively frayed from what started as an interesting plot. The second tried to improve things, and did in some ways, but almost ended up playing too much like sim city or something - building enormous cities in the first B&W felt far more rewarding for me.
