Clive Barker's Jericho


Don't we all just luuurve Halloween? It's that one time of year when the things that go bump in the night have free reign in our world (superstitiously speaking, of course). And how else to celebrate it than by giving you guys the juiciest screens (and a video) of rotting limbs, tentacled arms, and punctured eyes? Ugh. Graphic. That's Clive Barker for you.

Returning to the gaming industry after Clive Barker's Undying, the horror guru is back with Clive Barker's Jericho (no relation to fellow QJ blogger Jerico G.) and there's probably no need to warn you guys of the disturbing images you're about to see. What with "Hellraiser" and "Candyman" logged in his filmography, this game for the PC, Xbox360, and PS3 is bound to drive you up the wall in sheer terror.

The game from Codemasters is an FPS involving a seven-man squad referred to as the Jerico Team. They are led to the source of some ancient evil which has somehow broken through time into our world and is intent on engulfing the world. Here's a little sampling of hell on earth:

If you're brave enough, no one's stopping you from downloading the in-your-face video below. It's got that freaky cadaver thrashing itself against the bonds that's tying it down. Too bad it got free...

 » Respected author with inflated ego!

This genre is best left to seasoned pros' like the team behind the Silent Hill franchise who actually build dramatic fear by not showing you exactly what will kill you or exactly why you will die. Shock screens are definitley last-generation console stuff.
His first few books and late eighties movies were good (simply because of the fact I was fourteen)this however does not merit a second or third failed entry into our world of gaming. Please stop indulging these types of individuals to create more useless games when small developer studious with fresh ideas are being downsized and shut down.
Thank you

Pretty ballsy to call 'Undying' a failed 'entry into our world of gaming'. Sure, CB's 'Daemonic' was cancelled for Godknowswhy, but do NOT call Undying a 'failed attempt'. Underrated, sure; relatively unpublicized, of course; critically and gamer heralded; ABSOLUTELY.

While not widely known, Undying was an amazing 'first attempt' into 'our world', and anyone who has actually played it will agree (well, unless you're a graphics-wh0re, then you'll blow it off as 'crappy' without getting past the installation screen).

I for one am anxious to see what CB can pull out of that dark mind of his, ESPECIALLY on next-gen. }:D
