just out of curiosity, why do people fall for such tactics, it makes no sense

They both looked somewhat promising and unique. MadWorld with it's unique artstyle and quirkiness. The Conduit with its focus on single-player (not much of an FPS multiplayer guy...) and unique (maybe intellectual?) setting.

Of course, my perception changed very quickly when I played them. I knew I was done with MadWorld after the first 30 minutes. The Conduit lasted a bit longer (maybe a couple of hours?) before I grew tired of it. Both were promptly traded in.

But hey... 2 out of 60 (I'm at 60 Wii games? Nice.) ain't bad. Everyone buys stinkers from time to time.

Madworld looked interesting to me as well. BUt Conduit?? It always seemed off to me, the devs were unproven and they were talking waaaay too much shit. You want a FPS for story, I would check out the BIoshocks, if you have a system that runs it that is.
