Cited as, "A

pants scary
video game,"
in the
October 2007
issue of
Stuff
Magazine,
Clive
Barker's
Jericho is a
spectacular,
creative,
blast from
Barker's
cannon of
nightmares,
and an
interactive
experience
that mingles
the darkest
elements of
his horror
fiction with
an
ambitious,
age-spanning
story aimed
at mature
gamers, fans
of Clive
Barker and
horror
fiction
enthusiasts.
Clive
Barker's
Jericho
dispatches
gamers to
the
Middle-Eastern
city of Al-Khali,
where the
most ancient
of evils has
resurfaced;
causing
intense
paranormal
activity
that has
caught the
eye of the
military.
Controlling
the Jericho
squad, an
expert
strike team
skilled in
both
conventional
and
paranormal
warfare,
players
fight their
way through
slices of
time on a
grueling
journey as
they make
their way
toward the
heart of the
evil. Along
the way,
gamers
encounter
the horrific
armies of
hellish
denizens
that now
rule the
city and
corrupt
everything
they touch,
and as they
incrementally
approach the
source of
evil,
players will
have to rely
less and
less on
traditional
weapons and
instead
focus on the
combined
psychic
talents of
the Jericho
Squad.

gamers can
still
