First 20 Minutes: Dust: An Elysian Tail
We recently reviewed the final game in the Xbox LIVE Arcade Summer of Arcade series of titles, Dust: An Elysian Tail, and Sean said that the visuals were “mind blowing. It is one of the finest examples of gorgeous, hand-drawn, lovingly animated 2D that you will ever see”.
With that in mind we thought that it wouldn’t be fair to go without showing you those “mind blowing” visuals in one of our First X Minutes videos. Today we’re rectifying that by giving you just such a video, showing the first 20 minutes of the amazingly fluid art style that makes up Dust: An Elysian Tail. We think you’ll agree that there’s something truly special about the visuals and, if you haven’t already bought the game, I’m sure the following video will help change your mind.
Sit back, relax and take in the first 20 minutes of Dust: An Elysian Tail:
Dust: An Elysian Tail is available right now via Xbox LIVE Arcade.

By day I play video games, test video games or just simply write about them. By night I fight crime on the streets of London as a masked vigilante known only to a select few ... damn SECRET identity. Could never get the hang of that.
I've been writing about video games for about 10 years now, and playing them for even longer, starting off with a Spectrum ZX passed down to me in about 1988. Yes, I used to play games that came on cassettes. Yes, they were AWESOME!
I've been writing for God is a Geek since October 2010 and loving every minute of it, aside from that I write for my own website and work as a video game tester for Testology. So, yeah, I'm pretty much living the life of a gamer, and I don't intend stopping anytime soon thank you very much.
Unless I run out of money, then we might have a problem.
