One of the staffers from High Voltage (in the links) basically came to the conclusion shooters = hardcore. I'm not sure that I agree but I guess you can't common perception.

Its controls seem to be better than that of Red Steel's. As you may recall in the Ubisoft shooter, turning the camera required that the pointer be moved to the edge of the screen. That doesn't seem to be the case in The Conduit. And yes, the game seems to be geared towards the "hardcore." If you ask me, what's so hardcore about shooters anyway? You point the barrel at the enemy and press fire. That's it! As for sinking or swimming in the comments, that would really depend on the quality of the game itself. Red Steel may have fooled a lot of wishful gamers, but I guess it was mainly because of the controls. From what the video shows, the player can move the camera without having to point at the edge of the screen. Perhaps there's a toggle somewhere in the controls that allows camera movement. Just don't ask me about the graphics. :P Well, one thing’s for sure. Its controls seem to be better than that of Red Steel’s.
