Tags: HarbingerGameSpy has taken the time and posted up their review of Harbinger. Here's something I find just damned weird and wacky:
In short, Harbinger began with a promising premise -- "It's Diablo in space!" Unfortunately, in the end, that's all Harbinger is -- a barely passable Diablo mod with all the weaknesses of the original game and few of the strengths. The real tragedy is that other publishers may take Harbinger's lack of success as evidence that sci-fi RPG's "just don't work," never considering that gamers don't just want a sci-fi RPG, they want a good sci-fi RPG. Harbinger doesn't even come close.
Oddly enough, I didn't write this review. It's kind of interesting that GameSpy is repeating the main point of my review in their review though.
