As Wii was the most trustworthy, fun, and financially friendly (the only system I can afford and well worth the price, if not more) game system, it never strayed as being my favorite console of all time.

However, I can't help but feel that maybe a console that so hardly focused on party games never really pushed the edge on creating an experience in which people can really play together, particularly on the more hardcore titles such as the Conduit (offline) or Metroid Prime Corruption.

As much as I like Versus mode for the games that I DO own (mostly fighting games) there is a certain satisfatction to co-operative play, primarily due to the fact that I don't build up a never-ending losing streak (In case you didn't know, I'm a really, really sore loser).

While Goldeneye and Sonic Colors were next on my list (I loved Goldeneye as a kid), my eyes just darted off into the opposing direction as I started to drool at the cover page of the upcoming High Voltage title; the Conduit 2.

I mean seriously, look how badass the cover is! All those flashing lights. Scientific studies show that shiny lights attract all carbon based life forms. It's what attracts Twilight fan girls to Edward Cullen, and it's what attracts me towards games like Resident Evil 5, with it's amazing explosion effect, as well as it attracts most gamers to the PS3. Consider gold; an otherwise useless element, but very, very shiny, and therefore expensive.

I'm not gonna lie, however. It's generic, but I still like the way they designed it this time around, despite the fun retro art cover of the previous game.

Undoubtedly, the graphics engine in Conduit 2 is going to be more buffed (it goes without saying; Conduit is praised for its X-Box 360 rivaling graphics) but that's not the reason I'm psyched.

For the first time in possibly all of Wii history, Conduit offers true co-op, online, and surprisingly enough OFFLINE. As if the connection in Conduit 1 between consoles wasn't enough! Not that I'm complaining.

And after playing titles like Killing Floor and Call of Duty, the whole "gun at the side thing" started to produce nausea. I mean, sure, it was an original concept, before the ironsight came in, but thanks to my friends who repeatedly exposed me to ironsight, I developed an allergic reaction to FPS that don't bear the "look through the gun authentically" mechanic. Conduit 2 offers that as well, even though Wii games don't particularly need it.

Conduit 2 is really looking good, and not just at the cover, either. I hope to get it soon.
