The Conduit

Playing on the Wii's unique strengths, The Conduit's controls were designed to be intuitive. To toss a grenade, you flick your wrist in a throwing motion. Run out of ammunition, and you can make a quick jabbing motion to strike a bad guy in the face. When your character's health is low, the Wii controller throbs in your hand like a heartbeat.

Might be worth a try.

It almost makes me wish I was going to Gen Con 2009.

Almost.

Year One

A lukewarm movie review.

But how bad can the film really be if it features Jack Black eating human droppings?

Spooky.

Up

On Saturday, we saw the 3D version of the Disney movie "Up."

I saw the 2D version in Baltimore.

The 3D added something to the movie, particularly the South American vistas.

Even the buttons in the credits were obviously 3D.

However, the story remains uneven, preachy, and shamelessly manipulative.

Sounds like an interesting book.
