The Conduit is Gold
High Voltage Software has completely wrapped development on their ambitious Wii first person shooter, The Conduit. That gold status means publisher Sega is busy pressing discs for the game's June 23rd release date. I'm sure the HVS guys are both relieved to be done with the project but also a little sad; every time they were interviewed they said they were adding something new to the game or working to optimize it even more. If you haven't heard about Conduit, it's quite impressive for a Wii game, sporting pixel shaders, completely customizable controls and 12-person online multiplayer. HVS went all out for this game, something you don't see too often on the Wii and I can't wait to try out their masterpeice to see if it lives up to all the hype. One way or another we'll get you a full review shortly after the game launches.
