The Conduit came into this world with a spark. Sadly, it seems like most of that juice has already drained -- one last plug isn't gonna ~~charge~~ change that. Still, we thought we'd wish the Wii shooter well upon its release this week. It's been a feel-good story, after all, and we're hoping for a truly happy ending, so we can pitch the Hollywood script: It's like half sci-fi alien invasion, half uplifting indie drama. Now, if that ain't Oscar-worthy ...

Releasing a game during E3 week is risky. Releasing three? Crazy. (Disclaimer: The Crazy Chicken trifecta is subject to indefinite delay. These games have been no-shows in previous weeks, but if they are to materialize at all, now's the perfect time.)

We've got mixed feelings about highlighting a PS2 game this week. On the one hand, it's remarkable that a 9-year-old platform is still producing notable games. On the other ... it's a shame our current systems aren't delivering more noteworthy releases. There's always next week, we suppose.

(Note: All platform release lists are posted after the break; use "Continued" button below.)

It may not pack the big-screen value of its immediate predecessor (GTA IV was just like a grownups' movie, after all), but the latest Grand Theft Auto, Chinatown Wars, is portable and destined to be the talk of the streets playground. Resistance: Retribution, though, is a strong challenger for the majority mindshare in a week that is dominated by M-rated handheld releases. And, with the warming weather, we may actually venture outside -- as long as our batteries are charged.
