^ Sorry you missed it. It's archived on metacritic though... if you wanna have a look.


Give me a break. The Conduit was given the most coverage of any mediocre shooter since... Haze? Of course there were reviewers who hardly played the game and hacked together a review. That happens with every game, but your conspiracy theory that the gaming press is systematically underrating certain Wii games makes me call bullshit.

I'd say he has a case.

If you listen to the critics, The Conduit is barely better than Call of Duty 3, worse than Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, and way worse than Call of Duty: World at War.

If you listen to actual Wii users, it's the best FPS on the Wii, with the best user score of all four games.

I doubt it's a 'conspiracy' as you put it, but rating The Conduit between Call of Duty 3 and Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 is absurd, and only serves to further discredit game reviewers as professional journalists.
