Sega is publishing Conduit

December 30, 2008

While this may not be major news persay, it seems intriguing at the least that Sega has decided to acquire publish rights of this game. This may be a very wise move on sega’s part. Promising to be the best FPS the wii has to offer, the game is coming along way from being the typical Halo wannabe to a rather distinguisable FPS classic. The action  and gameplay looks to be fluid, which isn’t too common in the FPS Wii gaming world.

For those who have been looking forward to the game (I am definitly) I am happy to say that the game should be available as early as next spring.

Never the Less while some of the figures are the traditional gimmicky paper bad eggs, there are alot of decently made nintendo figures that you may want to add to your collection.
