<…> "The Conduit"
puts you in control of Michael Ford, a former Secret Service agent working
to fight off and alien race invading the earth called the Drudge. You're
working for what seems like a semi-shady group of characters known as
the Trust, a kind of Illuminati-style group. An NPC <a non-player character>
known as Prometheus (voiced by Kevin Sorbo) provides some in-game chatter
and information about the unfolding conflict. Of course, not all is at
it seems. As usual gamers, you are just a man trying to make a living
with alien bugs on one side and megalomaniacal groups with hidden agendas
and murky ideologies. (09.02.09 The Feed, g4tv.com)

Kevin Sorbo commented on
how his voice was a little raspy lately from all the voice over work he
has been doing for Nintendo games "Conduit" and "God of
War". (27.03.09 Armageddon Expo,

The story focuses mainly on
a freak alien invasion of Washington D.C., where portal-like devices known
as "Conduits" are used to deploy their forces throughout a battle-ravaged
city. Simple sci-fi fare, but as they say, the devil is in the details.
Suspicions arise as to the involvement of the U.S. government. Armed with
sci-fi gadgets and high-powered weapons, players will battle aliens, rouge
agents and enemy forces as a former secret service agent codenamed "Mr.
Ford." <...> One of the primary antagonists is a man calling
himself Prometheus (voiced by Hercules himself, Kevin Sorbo), a former
member of the Trust who left the organization for unknown reasons and
later fell in league with the Drudge. (27.05.09 DreadCentral.com)
