I was watching some “research” during the last break. It looks like there are some new video games featuring sand.
From Dust
A downloadable game, not yet released. The player controls the terrain and environment of an island, moving earth, water, lava and vegetation. It has some interesting interactions between sand and water.
Spec Ops: The Line
Featuring terrain/sand that will avalanche onto players. Below is the best video I could find illustrating this.
Journey
Made by thatgamecompany, the same people that made Flower and flOw, it’s going to be released as a downloadable game for the Playstation Network. Has vast sand-covered landscapes.

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands
Already released, but it has sands – of time!
3D Falling Sand Game
There’s also a 3D version of the falling sand game, don’t know why I didn’t notice it before.
