Morning Discussion: Together We're Heavy

Jun 29, 2009 2:05am CST
With the hog roast and all, I'm a bit shamed to admit that I didn't even touch a video game over the weekend. That may actually be for the best, as I wrapped up The Conduit last week, and I'm really not sure what to tackle next.

I must say, I was rather impressed by The Conduit. It actually felt like a real first-person shooter for the Wii, the controls are quite well-done (and very customizable), the weapons are fun, and the six-hour campaign wraps up just before things get tiresome.

That said, if it wasn't for the Wii angle, The Conduit would probably be just another generic first-person shooter with an alien twist. I keep meaning to check out the online multiplayer, but keep getting sabotaged by a five-minute "waiting for network" time. Hrm.
