Oh, I hope it gets some awesome ratings, 'cause the ones so far are not so hot...

Tempest, a few suggestions. As more reviews come in, can you also update the review average. That would be nice. And also when IGN's review comes in I think you should write it in boldface since that's the one most people here care about the most.

Yeah, i listened to what the new podcast at IGN had to say about the Conduit, like perfect dark and stuff, slightly repetitive. But he has long finished the singleplayer, and was supposed to play online like the 19th. I've been checking for the review, but ti's taking a while.

Thanks, IGN, for giving The Conduit the great review it deserved. They went a lot more in-depth than Nintendo Power and (especially) ONM did, pointing out what's really good about the game, and making actual good points towards the negatives. An 8.6 and an Editor's Choice Award? Sounds good to me.

Let's hope we get other great reviews for the game. Even if we don't, I'm picking up my copy day one.

Gamepro has a review, i really didn't want to mention
you really shouldn't feel bad for not putting it up, it's complete B.S., worse than The Nintendo Magazine's Reviews.

Yeah, I was thinking about posting about that. It was an absolute joke of a review. I'd have nothing wrong with the score they gave it if they gave some valid points, but they didn't--it was a rushed, poorly researched and poorly written review done by a guy who has an obvious bias against the Wii. Just awful.

GamesRadar gave an excellent review. Loved every bit of it. Luckily I got my copy this morning, I heard it's been hard for everyone outside of LA since it just shipped this morning, but I'm here to tell you this game is so far a 9 in my book. It's incredible. I'm just really excited to see where they take it from here for Conduit 2. I hope it grows into something truly spectacular, much like Time Splitters, with the introduction of vehicles and more intense story and creatures. Make it happen! BUY THIS GAME! It's so yummy!

Hey Tempest, don't be a pussy and just include the good reviews. A bad review score should also be included. I'd hate to see how you respond to the EDGE review. They hate all videogames so they'll give it a 6 or something. You should also include it on your list as well. Also why isn't the Nintendo Power review bolded?

I agree. Bad reviews should also be factored in because it's a part of life. You can't take out bad reviews from Metacritic just like you can't take out 100/100, A+ scores for PS360 exclusives that pay big $$$. It sucks and you wonder whether they played the game, but that's what it's been reviewed so you gotta factor them in. To avoid bias, you don't want to be biased yourself. Otherwise, let's just ignore all of the reviews except for IGN's.

In any case, I think EDGE and Gamespot will both give The Conduit anywhere from a 3 to 5 out of 10 just because that's their thing.

Relax guys, I am not just averaging in the "Good" reviews meaning a good score. I am averaging in all reviews that seemed to give the game a fair shot.

If a reviewer actually played the game and gave it a 5/10 I would include their review. The Gamepro review is the only review not being counted due to the fact that the review says he never played MP, he skipped all the cutscenes, and he hated the controls yet didn't mention customization. People on Gamepro were even complaining!

To clarify again: I am not judging based on the score! An opinion is an opinion!
