^ 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.

Call of Duty 3 was good. So was Medal of Honor Heroes 2. And CoD:WaW was also good.

Keep in mind that The Conduit is the only Wii only FPS of those so far. As with Killzone 2, many PS3 fans call it the greatest FPS ever. It does not surprise me that it would be called the best FPS on the Wii.

I will not speak my opinion on the game itself.
