Horror writer Clive Barker must have one sick imagination if some of the monsters in Jericho are anything to go by in this formulaic romp. You play Devin Ross, a member of a secret military unit known as the Jericho squad, working for the Occult Warfar...

Despite a few mistakes, Jericho still shines brightly. Its slick style, amazing graphics, and dark atmosphere really make it stand out. Heres hoping that MercurySteam has another romp into the dark depths of Clive Barkers mind lined up soon.

2007 has been a notable period for the bulging and much-maligned first-person shooter genre. Specifically, the likes of Halo 3, BioShock, The Orange Box, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption have combined to breathe considerable life back into a gaming cate...

I’m a pretty big Clive Barker fan. Despite the lengthy list of mediocre sequels, his original masterpiece, “Hellraiser” is one of very few movies to ever actually scare me. He’s even made some creative ventures into the world of vi...
Clive Barker’s Jericho will likely appeal to a certain group of gamers just from the implied pedigree, but the truth is that the uninspired gameplay, linear levels, horrid AI, and merely average presentation values keep this game from ever gripping...

Clive Barker might be well respected but he's not had the best of track records with his movies. Other than Hellraiser and Candyman the horror legend has struggled to reach greatness, so this could be why he's decided to work on a video game. Jericho s...

Clive Barkers Jericho is an inconsistent first-person shooter, alternating between moments of pure, atmospheric greatness and irritating design paradoxes that suck the fun out of the gameplay. For every incredible set piece--a battle in a Roman gladia...
Gorgeously creepy visuals and sound, Jumping between teammates makes for a lot of variety, Some tense, exciting firefights .
Horrifically confined level design leaves no room to maneuver, Lame final boss caps a stupendously awful ending, Long animations and visual effects leave certain characters far too vulnerable in battle.
Poor level design poisons Jerichos awesome but unrealized potential...

Excellent character models; classic Clive Barker trappings; plenty of violence.
Blah environments; unoriginal and semi-nonsensical story; desensitizing amounts of gore.

First of all, lets get one thing out of the way: Clive Barkers Jericho isnt a jump-out-of-your-seat scary game. Yes, there might be enough blood to fill an Olympic swimming pool, rotting flesh galore and some pretty hideous monsters but, if you pick...
