Point/Counterpoint: Pros and Conduits

High Voltage Software's The Conduit has built up a high-density hype field since the company unveiled it, mostly due to some very enthusiastic words by Chief Creative Officer Eric Hofsinger. Add some nice-looking preview footage and the general frothing desire from Wii fans for the kind of games seen on the other systems (the kind in which players see from the perspective of a large man who shoots guns at aliens), and The Conduit is something that has fanboy eyes lighting up all over the place.

But is it worth all the hype? Are we putting some game on a pedestal, or are we all justified in counting the unspecified number of days until the Q1 2009 release? To explore that question, two Wii Fanboy bloggers have entered into pitched word combat.
