One of the most anticipated Wii games of the year, The Conduit, has gone gold, meaning thousands of disc drives are burning copies of the game at this very moment. On Tuesday, June 23, the game will be shipped to stores, awaiting your hard-earned moneys to be set free onto the world and loaded into your shiny white trapezoids. As the Sega/High Voltage press release says, “Soon you will be able to arm yourself with an arsenal of sci-fi gadgets and high-powered weapons as you fight against aliens, rogue agents and other enemy forces.”

But what about the hype? What’s your take? Sure, the game looks pretty good (and not just “for a Wii game”). It won awards at E3 and other game conferences, and it’s been talked about around the gaming community since it was first revealed over a year ago. But are we looking to a third-party answer to Metroid Prime 3, or will we be stuck with another Red Steel?

I’m seriously hoping that The Conduit turns out to be a good game. Original IPs have it rough from the get-go these days (see No More Heroes, Mirror’s Edge, etc.), but if the game is good enough, it’ll break through those bounds and make its way up the sales charts and into your home.

So, fellow Lemony gamers, are you looking forward to The Conduit? Will you be buying, renting, or passing? Let us know!
