This isn’t directly related to Nintendo or anything, but I thought I would post this as it’s just too funny not to. Ever noticed the swaying motion of a gun in a first person shooter game? You know, the unnatural motion of how a gun sways to and fro while walking. If you’ve played any type of FPS then I’m sure you know what I’m talking about.

Duke Nukem was the first ever FPS game out there, so it’s a no-brainer that they would name this Duke Nukem Disease. You have to watch this video!

We put out the flames in this life-saving fire-person shooter.

Can you imagine a first-person shooter that has you saving people instead of pumping them full of bullets? Real Heroes: Firefighter plays like a standard FPS, but instead of carrying an assortment of guns on your back, you have a fire extinguisher. Your melee weapon is an axe, but you use it to break down boxes and bust down doors instead of giving the ol’ chop-and-drop to an evil dude. We had a chance to wield a hose and spray our life-giving water on a burning building today.

The Conduit is one of the Wii’s few first-person shooters, and we managed to score some time on its 12-player multiplayer mode.

After only a single round of playing The Conduit’s multiplayer mode, it’s clear that it’s been heavily influenced by the Nintendo 64 classic GoldenEye. This is no bad thing, but in terms of look and feel, Voltage’s upcoming Wii first-person shooter feels very much like a spiritual successor to the Rare classic. Thankfully, the feature set is completely 2009, with 12-player online multiplayer, seven maps, unlockable player skins, and voice support using Nintendo’s WiiSpeak peripheral. In fact, it could be said that The Conduit is the most feature-packed online game for the Wii so far. We went hands-on with the game at Sega’s office in London, and had a chance to speak to developer High Voltage to find out more.

A 12-player online FPS for the Wii? Oh yes!

IGN recently sat down with one of the games producers and its creative officer. The interview doesn’t really give us anything new but elaborates on some things people may be curious about. The Conduit places you in the well trained shoes of secret service Agent Ford. The man is your typical clean cut order following American, just the sort of man The Trust could use. The Trust is the shadow government behind our own. Not very much is known about The Trust, other than they have been playing puppet master for quite some time. If you are a conspiracy theorist, think of The Trust as the Illuminati. They are the ones who are truly running the show. The deeper into the game you delve, the more secrets about The Trust that Agent Ford will uncover.

New York Comic-Con 09 was last week and the games were in full swing. Unfortunately for me I was unable to attend. But, many other gaming sites were represented and I’ve been taking notes. One of the games on display was the amazing looking Wii title, The Conduit. The Conduit splashed on the scene at E3 because of it’s beautiful graphics. The developers have seemingly pushed everything out of the Wii that they could, and so far the results look amazing. You may remember the video I posted a week or so ago showing off how much has been updated since they started, and it was work that was very well done. The team at High Voltage Software are committed to giving Wii owners an FPS that is unlike anything the Wii has seen. The Conduit boasts fully customizable HUD, control schemes, multiplayer, and the ability to save and share your favorite control setups with others via the Wii Network. I can honestly say, that this is one FPS that I am very much looking forward to. At Comic-Con the developers put on a nice walkthrough of the title, and our friends at GameTrailers were there to film and put it up for all to see. Enjoy the video below my friends.
