Most companies have exposed their E3 lineups at this point, which is probably the best idea. E3 is in less than a week, after all. One such company that will be attending E3 is High Voltage Software; More importantly, it has been confirmed that their highly anticipated game, The Conduit, will be at E3. Those attending can expect a playable version of the game and new media and gameplay details will surely be discussed in the coming weeks.

Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
Wii owners have will soon be receiving a lot of Star Wars action. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and Star Wars: Clone Wars both look like promising titles. However, very soon, it’s more than possible that we can hear an announcement about yet another Star Wars game, Star Wars: Battlefront III. The basis behind this theory comes from an Amazon listing that was taken down soon after it was spotted. According to IGN, two different and perhaps reliable sources have confirmed that the game is real and is not only going to launch on Wii, but Star Wars: Battlefront III will come to the DS as well.
