Why would anyone but Wii owners care about The Conduit?

Good design stimulates the mind, not one of the senses. Seeing enemies reacting with intelligence is not eye candy. Entering a warehouse or a factory and finding that the rooms and corridors and props are appropriate and make sense is not eye candy. Noticing that Combine weapons seem to be based on dark energy and the icon for the "energy ball" is actually a string nucleus is not eye candy.

And, please, what are "generic control methods"?
I can understand "slow" or "clunky" or "imprecise", but "generic" makes no sense.
Are you turned off by HL2 because it controls with WASD+mouse? - that's as "generic" as a control method can get, in the sense that it's been used by most FPSs in history.
I have less respect for any gamer answering yes to this question, than for any "graphic whore".

You've dug beyond the point. 

My point is that just as many people want more than older game designs there are people who want more than older control designs.
