PAX 2008 Demos and More

Well, I missed PAX again this year. I hope to attend someday, and my hopes are increased due to the rumored PAX East Coast. Hopefully it comes around somewhere close. Course, almost anywhere in the continental US is closer than Washington State.

Among the PAX demos was a hands-on playable demo of The Conduit, a Wii-exclusive FPS that got me excited a few months back. Gamespot reports on the prerelease version available at PAX, and it seems not to disappoint. Markedly, the visuals are very appealing on a platform where pushing the details of environments has been missing. Even in this early stage, the game holds promise. Look for The Conduit in Q2 of next year.
