I've never heard of this mag, not common on most shelves at the shops I guess.

Of course you didn't. It's a UK mag with some editions in another languages too (German? French? I forgot).

Funny how you didn't hear about it, being on these forums and all.

The only EDGE I know of is a brand of shaving products. Well that, and I think there's a wrestler called The Edge, no?

In my honest opinion the conduit isnt anywhere near game of the year or anything. But its still a solid fps that makes fun. To give this game a 4 is absolutly insane and is only done to gain attention imo.

My personal score for the conduit would be somewhere around 7 - 8 of 10. I think thats what most people would rate it.



pathetic reviewers



^Statisticly very, that being said, you can't trust people these days...

Perhaps there is, haha. I'm not into wrestling.

5 is average, so they think the game is slightly below average, still though its going to destroy it on metacritic =/

normally I'd agree that edge are a bunch of crackheads, but this score is not what is destroying Conduit on metacritic. The game has gotten mediocre reviews from almost everyone.

As i often say, Edge is the only magazine that actually rates games on a scale of 1-10, unlike all other outlets which seem to use the 5-10 scale.

That being said, havent played the conduit yet so i dont know whether or not to have a meltdown about this review :P

Basically, kudos to edge for making a point score mean a damn!

As I often say, this is bullshit!

Every single videogame site uses the 1-10 scale, but EDGE fans/fanboys are bringing this up every time EDGE underrates a game, because they want to justify their fanboyism.

IGN recently gave Damnation and Cross Edge 2.5/10 and 3.5/10 respectively, so what exactly is that 5-10 scale you are talking about?



so that's 3 wii games up there......all below 5. really sad.

no one's talking about another code R



Giant Bomb gave this a 40 too. You thought GamePro was bs low. Too much hype?



The only site that seems to have given The Conduit a sensible review was IGN. Maybe because it was a favorable review, it may seem why I think that way. However, literally 90% of the people here have opinions that match IGN's the most. The gaming media just hates the Wii too much to ever see its games for what they are, so why bother believing them.

For God's sake, Indiana Jones got a 3, with endless waggle, PS2 graphics, and brief length. The Conduit is better in every regard and only gets a 4? Cut the crap.


I have said this before and I will say it again:

From now on, NO 3rd Party Wii game will ever get a 90% average on metacritic, gamestats, gamerankings etc, again.
