Inside Gaming invited me back on to their show again where had a discussion on The Conduit’s poor sales and FPS games. We also made dick jokes.
The Conduit had a lot going for it and wasn’t that bad. I’ll just never get into any FPS game on the Wii, unless it’s on rails, like Dead Space: Extraction. I’d rather play Petz then have to fight with the aiming of the Wiimote.
Anyway, you can check out my little segment on Inside Gaming after the jump. There’s also a bonus video following the break of Inside Gaming’s latest feature called Flamebait. In the first episode, they target a couple of Web sites that have boundless faith in the PlayStation 3. Oh, fanboys!
Flamebait!
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Games like Metroid Prime and The Conduit's controls work just fine IF you know how to aim at a screen that is.
Relying on printed adds in game magazines is a bit of a dated strategy though.
That money would have been better spent if they went with online banner advertisements.
However, you're right that Flamebait video was awesome.
also loved the flamebait.
The Conduit advertising wasn't the problem: I hate to beat the shit of a dead horse, but the Wii simply just isn't made to appeal to your typical FPS aficionado (Coming from a guy that loves PFS but wants to play The Conduit). Your normal FPS guy will play the games that came out for the console He/She bought: A 360 or a PS3. I hate to assume, but something gives me the feeling that not a whole lot of people bought a Wii because they knew it would be filled to the brim with quality FPS games.
But that's just what I think.
and whit that flame bait destructoid has make an official machinima.com fan
I absolutely disagree with this. Railshooters are fun, I'll give you that, but there is absolutely no reason to say that about FPS on the wii. Some like it, some don't. It's that simple.
I really disagree about the controls. I think I am going to have a hard time going back to dual analog shooters after this. My only complaint is that I sometimes grenade suicide when I scratch my nose.
Also, I fail to see how you have to get off your ass when playing the Conduit...there's no balance board interface. Also also, how can you be such a fan of Red Steel 2 if you don't like shooters on the Wii?
@Jack Maverick
I haven't seen a single add anywhere. Why the hell are you reading Game Informer?
Have you ever played MoH:H2? That game is awful.
The Conduit shat on that game in every way possible.
