Get those trigger fingers and nunchuck wrists loosened, Wii owners. SEGA and High Voltage Software’s The Conduit is hitting store shelves June 23.
If you’re not hot on The Conduit, here’s an easy way to sell you: take a gander at that inspired cover art in the gallery. It speaks volumes for the title. In The Conduit you play as a glaucoma patient with a penchant for Tron fashion. When you’re not busy seeking treatment, you’ll find yourself doing an array of different action activities such as bouncing a ghastly ball of light in the palm of your hand and aiming in the opposite direction of alien enemies. Crazy stuff, folks.
Do check out our preview of The Conduit if you’re curious and do tell us what you think about this final box art or your anticipation for the title.

I'm hoping it plays well, but with the recent good run of games Sega has been publishing lately (obviously not including anything Sonic), I feel it'll be worth the look. Also, those glasses are pretty goofy.
Nice boxart by the way.
@Jack: I would think it was Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
I know it doesn't and sorry if I made it seem like FPS = multiplayer but I really struggle to play single player FPSs. I find them way too linear and they can't hold my attention long enough to get through them. I still haven't beat the single player campaign of Killzone 2, Portal and the rest of Orange Box, yet I sunk a ton of time into TF2 and multiplayer for K2. I more or less forced myself through Resistance 2 and Metroid Prime 3 but haven't convinced myself to get Bioshock yet. I know I'm missing out on a lot of great experiences but I am a very competitive person and rather spend my time playing with other people.
It's just the way I am.
Oh ... my ... God ... You have got to play "Portal" all the way through! The others I can forgive, but not "Portal"! Blasphemy! ;)
I guess I'm the opposite. I'd much rather have an engrossing single-player experience first. The only exceptions were the "Battlefield" series, although I play "Call of Duty 4" with friends. For me, I like the satisfaction of getting through it myself and *then* if the game still holds my interest going for the multiplayer.
This is a full-fledged FPS, trust me.
This is currently on my radar.
I'll still be getting it if the gameplay is there. I've heard the story is decent, if just another variation on 'space marine versus alien conspiracy'. But these days it's either that, WWII, or zombies - regardless of system.
Just because you think this game looks generic (which is fine, it's your opinion), the Wii is dead to you? You're missing out on really good stuff, then.
There was also Medal of Honor that came out after Metroid Prime 3, I believe.
Anyway, cover art is so cheesy and 80's-ish it hurts.
plot twist is probably that the conduit is blind and is chipped with a visor which makes him a cyborg fighting the aliens, which to me is less generic than human's fighting zombies/aliens/nazi's... you get my point, i think i'm buying this.
Based on what I've seen to date, I'd have to agree. If this were a PS3 or 360 title, we wouldn't even be talking about it.
I'm predicting review scores in the 6-7 range and it selling about 100,000 copies.
Oh wait...
