It's got a fairly mainstream setting, and thanks to it's extensive use of motion plus, it's something only possible on Wii. I hope Ubi deliver on that one. I'm glad to see Prototype get a good score, but it hasn't pulled me in as much as inFamous did, which I really rinsed until I'd cleared the game and all the islands. They're two great games though, and I really think all this talk of 'wining' is utterly retarded. They're both really solid sand box actioners, and if you like that type of game then you're only shafting yourself by not playing them both. It's not as if Prototype is a 360 exclusive anyway, so I really don't understand why such a fuss has been made about these two titles. I imagine they'll both come out about the same on Metacritic in the end anyway, which I know would be a tragic result for the GAF hordes :) @Ik

They've been wrong for a while now. Arma 2 getting a 7 annoys me. Overlord 2, I have heard is great (ListenUP also, although that guy who swears a lot is a dick), and Red Faction Guerilla, I have heard is great. Doesn't even matter if it's an Edge score.

Here's the thing: The Conduit just isn't very good. Now, it's not a 4, more of a 6 (the contorls ARE fantastic), but it's just bland, the art direction was done by people who have never seen anything resembling art, the color palette is all over the place, effects like depth of field are over-used and the single-player experience is as boring as can be. As a Wii owner, I can only hope that this game will not be used as a benchmark for the performance of hardcore games on the Wii, as again, we're still lacking a REALLY GOOD 3rd party hardcore game with mass appear on the Wii that would once and for all show wether it works or not. (Now, I too love MadWorld and No More Heroes, but they're simply too niche to be taken into consideration.)
