Just finished up the updates,
The IGN podcast is commenting on Garnett Lee and Kim's Gamepro Conduit WTF statements.
Bozon:
"It is a damned shame that SEGA did not give Gamepro a version of the game that had an options menu in it"
Matt:
"The bigger problem is when I see blanket statements by journalists where they say: well whatever, the Conduit is a workaround for the wii remote which is just not designed for FPSs. Those statements to me show that you have no effing idea what you are talking about. Because that is just blatantly wrong."

I mean, shit, Fire Emblem!
i blame my lack of fire emblem to you for not campaigning hard enough for this game ... making a mockery of gertsman's review ... getting into fights over it ... and eventually masterminding the whole exodus from gamespot was nothing. how was i supposed to know i needed to get this game then?

I did more updates.
Pachter can see into the future. In 2015 360 will be last apparently.
It was Lark Anderson. I played Path of Radiance quite late, I actually played it on Wii I got it so late. Damn game NEVER dropped in price.
EDIT:
Also there were four more Conduit reviews today. I put a new summary in the thread. Solid 8s all around.
Sega's recent targeting of a mature audience on the Nintendo Wii has been successful in the long-term, with the publisher telling GamesIndustry.biz it has more budget for similar adult content on the format.
Although The House of the Dead: Overkill didn't set the charts on fire on initial release, the company said that sales at a lower price point have made the game profitable, and the company is still willing to experiment with product despite the Wii being seen as the home of sugar-sweet games.
"House of the Dead: Overkill was a profitable title for us," revealed Gary Dunn, MD of European development for Sega, speaking exclusively to GamesIndustry.biz.
"Whilst it had a rather sharp tail at full price, they do bubble away at a lower price point for a long time. You get your money back and a bit on full price, but over the years, if we do the final product return on investment, profits come from the lower price point."
Although another mature title – MadWorld, developed by Platinum Games – also didn't hit blockbuster status, Dunn is happy to take the risk, and has cash in the bank if the company decides to release more 18-rated titles.
"You have to push boundaries and explore. I think whilst MadWorld commercially didn't sell what we were expecting I wouldn't say it's game over for mature Wii titles from Sega.
"We're taking a look at the resources we have now. We've got money to invest in development, we're just considering where to invest it next," he added.
Sega was one of the first publishers to try to sell mature games to a Wii audience, with Electronic Arts also now eyeing the market with its Dead Space franchise.
Bethesda, publisher of Fallout and the Elder Scrolls, is also planning to try its hand at mature Wii games, with a title due to be announced this year.
having just ordered another code also makes me a bit stingy about getting another risky game at full price at the same time

2 out of 3 ain't bad. It's better than zero out of 3. You'd have to be a real asshole to do something like that.
Majora's Mask
It’s hard to over-emphasise Majora’s emotional achievements. Four years on, few developers have dared take on the lessons that it teaches about how to handle story and character in games. However, it’s only the beginning of what the game has to teach. There are other essays to be written, on how it should have revolutionised game-saving systems, but didn’t. On how delicately the subquests influence the way the main quests are played (try infiltrating the Pirate Fortress with and without the Stone Mask). On Anju and Kafei and what may be gaming’s greatest love story. On how the game has influenced later Zeldas and how much blame it must bear for unleashing Tingle on an undeserving world. Then there are tales to tell, of frog-collecting and curse-lifting, of spider-catching and fairy-herding, but the best way to discover them isn’t to read information in magazines. Instead, let the game tell you its story, whether for the first time or for a second, third or tenth. Ocarina may have been close to perfect, but Majora’s Mask is twice as revealing – a link to the future as well as to the past.
Pachter is such a crazy SOB. How can people actually pay him to look into his crystal ball? Anyone can do the speculating BS.
