The reviewer is Tae K. Kim.

He gushes over Madworld but stomps on The Conduit, without even trying the multi-player. Maybe he's afraid of getting his ass kicked.

Ok, 'stomps' is a little strong. But I firmly believe his complaints are just as exagerated.

.5 STARS!? Amazingly generous.

What was the name of the reviewer? He sounds inept at his job.

His grandmother was killed in a horrible accident where another old person did not use the strap/comdom properly and the remote flew out of his hand and struck his grandmother and killed her instantly. So he blindly and irationally hates the Wii.

I'm going to guess that Lindy gives the game something between an eight or a nine. That is my prediction.

Maybe you could go to the plasma donation center with a fake ID?

I just hope my blockbuster gets it by Thursday so I can at least try it out. My brother was visiting this weekend so we got one of those 1 week $10 unlimited rental passes and it goes through Thursday. Once I get paid I will buy this game.

Why would you need to use a fake ID?

That's actually not a bad idea. A friend of mine did that twice a week to help get through school. At $40 a pop, it is a pretty good deal.

I have a similar pass and I don't think I'll see it anytime soon. For some odd reason, my local store has yet to bring in Sega's last two, Madworld and HOD. May have to go to Game CRAZY!!!

My store has Madworld but not HOD. They are still saying they have no date in their computers....

I'm pretty sure you can still donate your blood, you just need a signed consent form from your parent or guardian. I know of minors that have donated before. You just need a form signed and to be driven there. Though some places may just not acceptminors as a policy but a number of them do.

Conduit has mature themes. Like when Agent Gerald Ford is distracted by a custody battle with his estranged wife over their eight children. He turns to a prescription pain killer addiction to deal with his problems. Then his father dies and he is reminded of his own mortality.

Serious, it's in today's new Conduit trailer. Pro has it posted on Six Sided Video.

I don't place the blame on High Voltage at all on this one, though -- they did a great job of squeezing every last drop of performance out of the Wii's tiny, bumblebee-like engine.

It seems everyone has gone away from the Lamepro review but I don't think it's very fair to judge a game's graphics like this. If you do this then every portable game is going to get eaten alive because the hardware doesn't come close to the consoles. I can see it for multiplatform releases since you should let the reader know how the different versions stack up. But if a game gets every last drop of performance out of the hardware, unless it causes some gameplay breaking framerate drops, it should be get a perfect score on graphics. On technical merits like sound and graphics Wii games should really be compared to other Wii games. In terms of gameplay then I say all comparisons are fair, a game shouldn't get slack for being less terrible if the overall library is poor (not saying that applies to the Wii; think more like the CD-i or N-Gage).

I had watched it earlier today. I didn't watch it in response to ShyGuys statement. I didn't believe him for a moment.

Gerald Ford is having a crisis of character. Will you guide him through his attempt to repair his relationship with his alienated children? Can he successfully kick his addiction with a trip to rehab?
