Quantcast



 We here at Destructoid are all a little crazy, what with the bestiality and all. So, it comes as no surprise that a merry band of fetishists like us have been watching Clive Barker's Jericho the way The Gimp watches Marcellus in the back of that dusty pawnshop. We've been furiously touching ourselves accordingly.

This latest batch of Jericho screens has only served to ramp our collective excitement to rabid, frothy, foaming-at-the-mouth levels. The game looks gorgeous and disturbingly sado-maso at the same time. The (relatively uninspired) stone-hewn environments look as good as their demented inhabitants, and I'm particuarly impressed by the light in the stained-glass window in this scene. (Note to self: make a shield out of the corpses of your enemies -- it looks cool.)

Unfortunately, I don't have any new info on this supernatrual, squad-based FPS; however, your friendly, neighborhood Britcepticons will have a vertiable plethora of demonic chicancery and diabolical tomfoolery for us soon, after they go play the damned thing Friday. So, horror fiends, how jealous are you?

I hope this is the game to pull Clive out of the gutter, I really like his style of story telling and don't think he deserves D- games.

Pretty jealous.

Wait, sorry I thought you were playing Wii Fit. I would've been SOOOO jealous...

I do want Jericho though. Looks pretty, and I like Clive Barker. Kinda.

This doesn't intice me at all. The reason why we played and loved Undying was because it scared you, the atmosphere was near perfect.

Here it's just all action and eye candy.

Looks stupid.

I don't know... I'm going to have to wear my Skeptical Hat until I know more about it. From the sounds of it, all they did was squish Rainbow Six into F.E.A.R. on a lark and prodded Clive Barker with a stick until he wrote a story to go with it.

Sure is pretty, though.

Big arena with creatures and friends? Mix of Aleins and Gladiator? And throw in a dash of Hellraiser.
