Clive Barker, with the assistance of Codemasters, is making a game called Jericho. It will be scary. Mr. Barker worked on Undying, a PC game from 2001 that was pretty darn creepy. Not to mention the Hellraiser and Candyman films. Should we lock our doors and keep all the lights on? Nah, where's the fun in that? Play this one during a windy night with the windows open and the curtains sweeping, in the dark. Naturally. That's part of what makes surround sound Silent Hill games so freakin'... freaky.Barker said over at IGN: "There are things in my imagination which I think can only be paintings, things that can only be books, and this thing has to be a game." Awesome, especially since the article pointed out how Barker was captivated with the ability of games to allow the gamer multiple paths and multiple endings. Movies and books are restricting in that manner. Basic gist of the game, according to Barker again, takes place in a town "like Russian dolls, spaces within each other, and trapped inside each space is a slice of time where the warriors of good have gone against ultimate evil and have lost." Sounds...
Love Clive Barker? He promises to be involved every step of the way on this title. His previous work on a game called Demonik, has found itself stranded in
