"Sega have announced they will be teaming up with High Voltage Software to publish The Conduit on the Nintendo Wii.

The Conduit pits players against a scary alien race known as "The Drudge", who must be taken down with futuristic weaponry and an intelligence-gathering device known as the "All-Seeing Eye".
The game will use the full range of Wii inputs, including the recently announced Wii Speak peripheral, which will allow secret service agents to chat away whilst blasting extraterrestrials in online multiplayer games, and that is one reason why this game could be something very special indeed.

This is encouraging news as the Wii desperately needs fresh new titles, if its going to compete in the future with Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
Allthough people are hailing "The Conduit" as the new benchmark for first person shooters, we'll have to wait until next year to find out if it delivers to all the hype.
The Conduit is due for release in Spring 2009, exclusively on the Wii. All of us at Sorethumbgames recon this is one to watch out, more updates in Jan

Is the Credit Crunch going to effect Christmas sales?

Reading the paper this morning made me think long and hard, is the credit crunch going to effect Christmas retail sales?
How can it not? People use their credit card to buy elaborate gifts for Christmas, typically its the busiest time of year for loan firms and creditcard companies whom give loans out on a whim.

So with the credit well drying up- are people going to spend or use the credit crunch as an excuse?

Being an online retailer I was really looking forward to the christmas rush, now I'm waiting with a degree of anticipation of what could lie ahead. If Bush does not push through his proposal to bail out the banks we're all in for a very tough time indeed- and we could see some of the major retailers struggle- and some major rounds of redundancies.

What do you think?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that's for sure.
