Lay your eyes on The Conduit and fall in love

\
Following up the screens and tech demo we all got to check out (and get excited over), High Voltage has now released a rather lengthy trailer for their proposed FPS The Conduit. What do we have to say? Well, much like you will be after seeing the video above, we're in love. We need this.

Everything from the amount of on-screen action right down to the badass weapon used in the beginning has us pumped. What say you all?

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]

Nintendo loses $21M lawsuit


Nintendo has been ordered by the courts to pay 21 million dollars to Anascape, a smalltime developer based in Texas. The ruling comes after deciding that Big N infringed on 12 patents filed by Anascape to make these controllers:

* Wii Classic Controller
* Wavebird
* GameCube Controller

The patents included things like "Analog Sensors with Snap-Through Tactile Feedback" and "Remote Controller with Analog Pressure Sensors". Charlie Scibetta, a spokesman for Nintendo said they are looking to appeal the decision and cut down the $21M sum considerably.

Anascape also filed a similar lawsuit against Microsoft, who settled the case for an undisclosed amount.
