I would use "still" before the word you want to stress:
With STILL 30 minutes to go (the game seems to be taking forever to finish, you have been looking at your watch often to see how much time is left)
With 30 minutes STILL to go (amount of time is less important, but the action following is)
Try another example:
1) He thought the test would be time consuming,
