Don't listen to the nay sayers, Harbinger is a great 30 dollar game! I've only played 4 levels as a gladiator but It has soul. The spirit is there. I might change my mind but so far I'm impressed. No dungeons or Goblins! some sites really bash this game,Let the buyers decide. |

I'll echo that comment. I don't understand the reviews I seen. Some seem to get stuff wrong, other seems petty or pedantic. The game is plain fun. It does not have the depth of Diablo (no special skills), but the story and writing are great, it really draws you in to a real mystery, no more of the same ol' save the world from evil so far. The special abilities - mines, cameras, and proper use of weapon mods requires some planning and thinking. I give the game a solid "8.0". It's definitely not the low 4.5 given out by Gamespot!

Hmm...
Not a rpg. Sort of more a platform shooting sort of game, like you would see on playstation.
Kind of interesting. Nowhere near as nice looking as Divine divinity.
Not a 4.5 out of 10. I will give it 6 out of 10. Not good enough for me to buy though. |

We will have a review of Harbinger up today or tomorrow. I really think the 4.5 at Gamespot was very harsh, and so was the very negative review at RPGCodex. I'll present my thoughts in my review then, for now I will shut up

The reasons given by gamespot' reviewer seem to be very reasonable, and reviews from other game sites are no very good either. I think it would be an average game, maybe above average, with some people really like it style.
It's hard to compete for gamer's money with several upcoming games this month like Splinter Cell, Freelancer, Devastation, etc. I would personally get these games rather than............  |

A fair review, this game is not going to set the world on fire but is a pleasant diversion. I'm seeing dungeons in my sleep! Enclave is next I guess. good job. |

I noticed a LOT of Harbinger news on the site for such a small, almost non-rpg game. I wonder if it's because they bought a lot of advertising space....
I'm sure I'm not at PC Gamer's website, am I? Although that disappoints me, I really like the coverage of player-made mods that RPGDot is putting up. I feel this type of thing is a perfect fit for the website. Of course Rendelius loves Morrowind

Of course it is not because they bought ads here. As you might be able to see on the "about Harbinger" page, we had a lot about the game from 2001 onwards. And we report a lot about it now, since a lot of other sites are putting up reviews and have put up previews. And we report about bad ones as well as about good ones.
It is just that when we find news, we post them. Look at other games that have been released recently - you will find a lot of coverage as well.
The thought that coverage can be bought here is absurd. Actually, i find it a little humiliating towards the staff.

I understand that it's a slow time for crpg releases. It's just that there have been several Harbinger ads on the site and across from the ads were several news items about Harbinger. It seemed more than coincedental.
I'm glad that you can't be bought. Too many sites ARE bought and it is
obvious that the reviews on those sites can't be trusted. Pardon my paranoia. I mean no offense, but I feel I should speak my fears and let one of you correct me rather than just be silent and hope that you aren't being bought
