Tomorrow, <A href="http://www.harbingergame.com">Harbinger</a> ships.
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>DreamCatcher Interactive Inc. today announced that it has shipped Harbinger for the PC in North America.  Already garnering critical acclaim, the game signals a new direction for the Action/RPG genre. Harbinger is set in a dark world where death lurks on every corner, with 65 different enemies hiding across 70 different levels. Gamers take on the persona of a human, a robotic gladiator or the feminine Culibine; each with their own distinctive traits. The game features an intuitive interface and gamers can expect more than 75 hours of gripping game-play.
<br>
<br>
"It's been a while since the Action/RPG genre has had anything to be so excited about," said Richard Wah Kan, CEO of DreamCatcher. "We're confident that with Harbinger, we're giving fans something to look forward to."
<br>
<br>
From a technical perspective, the game excels, as it supports advanced particle affects, colored lighting and highly detailed, runtime anti-aliased characters. Harbinger also offers great value with an MSRP of $29.99 (USD).</blockquote>
<br>
<br>
$30 is a rather attractive price, at least to me.

30$ is pretty darn cheap for a new game. Of course, that means it'll have to be half as good as Neverwinther Nights to be worth the money


P.S. Is there a date for UK shipping?

From what I hear, prices in the US usually drops to 29.99 for all PC titles after 2-4 months.

In Europe, that never happens. Prices don't fall. I can go out to any store and grab a copy of Decent to Undermountain for 49.99. The only cheap games are the re-issues (you know "classic line" etc), and even those arn't very cheap. Never ever 10$ as in the US.

So while it IS nice for you with cheaper software, it's not that big a deal since you can get it cheap after a while anyway. And on a good year the que of games is about 3 months long anyway.

Already garnering critical acclaim

Err... say wha?

This game actually looks pretty crap to me. That, and I think it would sound much better if it was called Harbringer. A second 'r' just seems so much more natural to me.

Who really knows how its gonna be. I figure just wait until the reviews, or until the unbiased critics like Saint P come out and tell how the game is. :mrgreen: :twisted:

I'd go with anything fun.If it provides atleast 5 hours of solid and interesting action I'll get this game. Besides, its 30 bucks.Just that reminds me how many worthless games are sold for 50.And I really need something new and cool, its been a long time since Serious Sam was released.

Dreamcatcher was nice enough to send me a review copy, so I'll be working on that review.
