GameSpot has thrown up a preview on Silverback Entertainment's upcoming hack-and-slash RPG, Harbinger. Here's a nugget:

In Harbinger, you'll control a single character by choosing from one of three playable types: the human, the gladiator (a huge robot infused with the consciousness of a human being), or the culibine (a member of an alien race with innate regenerative abilities). As you might expect from an action RPG, Harbinger will have plenty of different weapons, armor, and miscellaneous items to choose from. However, each of the game's playable characters will be able to make use of ranged weapons to attack from a distance, as well as lay traps on the ground to damage and ensnare enemies. This will all be done through Harbinger's streamlined interface. Like any good action RPG since Diablo II, you point and click to move your character, and the game will also let you click and hold your mouse button to continuously walk or attack, rather than forcing you to click repeatedly.
