The Conduit

The Conduit series seemed to have created quite a furor among Wii users making it a worthy FPS to browse through on the Wii. The game also put High Voltage Software and Quanutm 3 engine on the map for supporting and setting a graphical benchmark for games which appeared on the Wii. <br /> <br /> If history has to repeat itself this game which was initially designed and released for the Wii is getting its feet wet on the PS3.

The Conduit was released on June 23, 2009 as a Wii exclusive. The game had a lot of coverage/hype leading up to its release, and its developer, HVS, was very active in promoting the game. While the game wasn't perfect, it resulted with a game engine and foundation for HVS to build off of. It was revealed in March 2010 that HVS was working on a sequel to The Conduit, Conduit 2, which just released yesterday. How many hours have Wii owners reported playing The Conduit, with 665 days of game-play reported before Conduit 2 released? Let's take a look!, says CoffeewithGames.com in the introduction section.

If a game sells one million copies it is considered by many to have been successful but that's rubbish, according to one developer.

Eurogamer writes: Responding to the issue of disappointing review scores for the 2009 shooter, High Voltage Software pointed towards the first two Grand Theft Auto games and their lack of success.
