Our beloved Wii is about to get another game that supports Wii Speak and it's the much anticipated Modern Wafare: Reflex.
Note that it hasn't been confirmed yet so check back later for a possible official confirmation. More inside...
I'm going to Romania for 3 weeks to meet my relatives and old friends and in the mean time there will be some changes to the Union.
More inside.
Well, actually we've got one:
With different variants for officers and me, the leader, which I will distribute by PM. I expect for you to have this in your sigs. It's not mandatory, but it's a good way to get new members in and to show that you're a memeber of this Union.
I am pleased to announce The Conduit Union's evolution:
The FPS Union!
The Union that will bring all Wi FPS fanatics from all around GameSpot.
Despite GameSpot's review of The Conduit (in which it scored 6.5), they will host a Game Night on July 14th, so everybody tweak your controls and get your WiFi working cause it's time to kill some Drudge ass.
"Built from the ground up for Wii, the ambitious FPS is finally here. Has it been worth the wait?"

Nintendo Power: 8
So far it's positive, but it's only two reviews so we're gonna have to wait to get an accurate average
The Conduit has been delayed first in Australia and then in Europe. Sometimes I wish I lived in America.
Anyway the date has been pushed back to July 10.
A new Trailer for The Conduit was shown at E3 when Regis Fils-Aime talked about how third-parties are bringing more mature titles to the Wii.

High Voltage is about to show us two new Wii games at E3!!
Gladiator A.D.
The first is Gladiator A.D., an action game that is suppose to be brutal with lots of blood. This game has M rated written all over it.
The Grinder
The second is Grinder, another FPS game by HVS. Instead of the Conduit's sci-fi alien theme, this game has you shooting Vampires, werewolves and of course, zombies! no game is complete without zombies.

As of now, both games does not have a publisher, but it will most likely be Sega. Both games are also listed as RP (rating Pending) but I'm pretty sure this gets an M
SEGA held a Conduit Multplayer event in Europe. This time the online system worked perfectly. There were also some screens released:
Also, IGN user 'gamingmaster4' e-mailed High Voltage Software regarding the on-line system, it's chat and how it works.
More inside!
First screens of the online multiplayer inside The Conduit!
New Trailer showing The A.S.E. in action :
Also, if you pause at 00:13 you will see a weapon we've never seen before (Or at least I've never seen)
Inside you will find more info about the multiplayer and it's rumors.
It kinda haves a retro look to it, don't you think?
So, it seams that the All-Seeing-Eye won't be used only for solving puzzles and uncover hidden objects and enemies, you can also use it to unlock some extras!
More Inside...
"Despite its market leading sales, revolutionary control system and cross-over into the main-stream market, Nintendo's Wii console still has a few glaring holes in its considerable armour. The primary gripe endures about a lack of games aimed at hardcore players, notably the distinct absence of quality and original first-person shooters. Sega and High Voltage Software (HVS) hope to change this with The Conduit. Ahead of the game's release, Digital Spy locked and loaded with lead designer Rob Nicholls to find out more."

Dear all loyal Conduiteers,
As you all know, I haven't been as active as I would have liked to be, and am unable to be as active as I want. The Union has grown tremendously since we put it together a while back, and I've had an awesome time helping it grow and have had a great time with the great community we've established here. I'm happy that even in my absence some users have stepped up to the plate. Every one of you guys deserves a page long thank-you, but there's one Officer who really never gave up on the Union - Lancea. Thanks lancea for all of your hard work and support to keep the union alive.
I regret to announce my resignation as leader from the union, effective immediately, and am proud to introduce our new leader - lancea. I hope the union can continue to grow as the launch of The Conduit grows near. Again, thank you all for your tremendous support, and I'm sorry it had to end for me this way. Carry on Conduiteers. I'm confident you guys, under lancea's leadership, can make this the best union on Gamespot.
Sincerely,
cjm23

And a recent interview with Eric Nofsinger of the Conduit talks about the "perks" they are pondering regarding a pre-order, how they will advertise the game, and details on a Collector's edition.
