Ouch about Grand Slam Tennis. Apparently Virtua Tennis is absolute crap, so this was my last hope for an AAA tennis game on Wii... :(

Nice find! I was looking for some other scores earlier!

No LKS review? Or will they wait until NA release?:(

Well gamespot liked Boom Box better than them, hopefully that means they will like The Conduit better as well:P

7.5 for indiana jones isnt bad! I was expecting terrible, will definitly rent it.

And YAY! 9.0 for Tiger Woods! Can't wait to pick it up!

why no love for Indy, or Tiger Haz lol? I expected Indy to score much lower tbh...maybe it's a rent!

I don't care for much of the other games on there though. Glad to see Conduit score an 8!

For some reason, I'm more into the Wii version of Ghostbusters, than the gritty, mature, realistic looking one on the other two consoles. I'll pick it up, especially if the co-op is good. Then, I'll grab Conduit as a rental, and purchase it if I like it. HECK YES THE MUNCHABLES! I AM GOING TO BE BROKE!!

Boom Blox and Tiger Woods 10 are the only games on that list I'm getting for sure. Maybe Ghostbusters too.

I gotta be honest. I thought Conduit would get a lower score. Well, just wait for GS to knock it down a point.

If even NP wasn't willing to give Conduit more than an eight, then the outlook for the more partial sites and magazines is... bleak.

Decent score for The Munchables,i don't know if i should get it.Stephleref
It's a children's game, and that's probably one of the highest scores it'll get.

I wouldn't count on that. NP gave Okami a 7.5 and NMH an 8.

The garishly bright colours, the bosses with two hit points, and the promotional material is a colouring book. Have you got your crayons and your sippy cup ready?

Some games have kiddy art direction... some games are directed AT kids, this obviously looks like the latter:P

They are hard to follow.. they rate some good games too low, and some bad games too high, so it will be interesting to see which one of those The Conduit falls under:P

gatsbythepig

If we pretend their reviews have any kind of consistancy, it will score at least an 8.5, because that's what CoD:WaW got, and the Conduitis better. But, their reviews are based on personal whim and not necessarily how good the game actually is. So we'll see.

all these numbers don't mean much when you don't have the text of the reviews to make better judgements.

I actually really like Nintendo Power's reviews. One thing to watch out for is that they are a little Sega fan-boyish, but besides that I think they're fine.

Ya they give some weird scores. Sonic and the Black Knight did NOT deserve an 8.0.

7.5 is not a bad score, for GS it is even a "Good" game. You should read other reviews as weel if you are so concerned about the scores. For Virtua Tennis, I really see no conection as the cores listed doesn't include it and I haven't seen any review so far Sooo, apparently, you are guessing or what?

The Conduit got an 8.0... not really suprising, it looks like a beast.

I'm not sure with Grand Slam Tennis though, I think it deserves at least an 8.0
