The Conduit

Alerted by alert reader Alert Greg, The Conduit promises to be the blockbuster shooter title hardcore Wii owners have been looking for. Details at IGN, including screenshots, make the game look like an extremely promising title. The control scheme of the Wii seems like a perfect platform for an action shooter, but outside of Metroid Prime 3 -- really light on the shooter elements -- no one has done it.

I have my reservations, after noting the game is being developed by High Voltage Software, who seem to have worked mostly on lame TV show video games and ports. But I'd love to be proved wrong.

Edit: I watched the trailer. This game looks incredible. If they can really deliver this, I'm gonna be all over it.
