I don't like HGL, but still more than a new WoW expack. Rather a new game.

I wouldn't get either.

i played the hellgate beta

it wasnt bad...

if you had a bigger group of people it would be pretty damn awesome though

also, comparing it to wow isnt quite right... the whole thing smacks of guild wars

Yeah, HGL is supposed to be like Diablo 2. If you want a good RPG, you should rather get The Witcher.

Presentation is everything. I've never heard of this game before, so I'd figured I'd check it out. But I was immediately turned off by it because of the fact that I can't even understand what it is. Everything looks the same.

YouGamers gave it only 71 points and I agree with 95% of their reviews.

Gamespot's review is also out now and they gave it 7.

I thought WoW's new expansion looked pretty cool.

Vague skill descriptions! Take your Summoner to level 25 and invest one skill point in the "Toxic Elemental" pet with a description that reads: "Does damage". Assuming the skill actually works, how much damage does it do? Is it direct damage or Area Of Effect? Ranged or melee? How often does it attack? How many hit points does the pet have? Do the damage and hit points scale with you as you level?

It is a fun guessing game. For all you know, the elemental could just run away when you summon it, or even attack you. Which brings us to...

No way to get your skill points back. That means you'll be screwing up lots of characters and starting new ones, adding hours upon hours of replayability. Which brings us to...

Limited character slots and inventory space! A great reason to invest $9.99 per month to have us expand them for you. Where does your money go?

HA HA HA!!! *practically died from laughing. I couldn't breathe xD*

The graphics seem horrible :/ WoW doesn't have the greatest graphics either, but hell it looks a lot better than the screen shots I saw in the gallery.
