Brave, gentle, and wise, Astro Boy soars high in the sky.

No matter how old you are–you’ve probably seen or heard of the amazing Astro Boy in some form or another. Armed with finger lasers and handy-dandy red rocket boots, the lovable child robot will be flying onto the silver screen later this summer. High Voltage Software, the developer of The Conduit, is working on the video game adaption of the movie, so you can take to the skies and play as the young boy who has far too much firepower for his age. At the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con, we were able to meet with Cameron Rains, the producer of the game, to talk about Astro Boy and see how this action hero performs on the Nintendo Wii.

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.

I’ve not done anything on The Conduit yet, so today is as good as any to get the first post on High Voltage Software’s anticipated FPS up for your enjoyment. The Conduit turned heads at E3 this year because it looked beautiful. There were reports saying that the effects and graphics the game presented were nearing 360 or PS3 standards. Now, I don’t think we’re talking MGS4 or Gears of War 2 but, the game did look great. Now, if the game looked great way back in July of last year, you’d imagine that it’s looking even better these days, right? Well luckily our friends over at GameTrailers have a nifty little video to show you exactly how much better this game is looking. With another 6 months or so before the game is set to release, I’m thoroughly excited to see what the final release will look and play like.
