From the press release:
Prepare to confront evil and then blast its face off as Codemasters announces the release of the Clive Barker’s Jericho™ playable demo.
The demo is now available from Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for the Xbox™ 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft® and the Games for Windows® demo available from www.codemasters.co.uk In Europe and PAL territories, the demo will be available for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system on October 4th from PLAYSTATION®Network*.Clive Barker’s Jericho dispatches players to the Middle-Eastern city of Al-Khali. Controlling the Jericho squad, a team skilled in both conventional and paranormal warfare, players fight through different time periods from the city’s history on a gruelling journey to unravel the legend of the First Born, God’s first aborted creation of man and source of ultimate evil.
Thrusting gamers into the heart of this unique horror FPS, the demo is taken from the time of the Crusades in Al-Khali’s past. A vicious attack has divided the squad, with one half presumed lost. As the demo opens, players join Sergeant Billie Church, Lieutenant Abigail Black and Sergeant Frank Delgado in the blood-drenched sewers and catacombs of a fortress.
Playing as Captain Devin Ross, the fallen squad leader who as a spirit is able to possess and heal individual members of the team, players must take advantage of Church, Black and Delgado’s paranormal talents.
Delgado, a pyromancer and heavy weapons expert, can unleash a parasitic flame spirit to incinerate nearby enemies and wields a 7.62 calibre Minigun.
Church, a blood scribe, casts powerful wards, enchantments and banishments through the ritual of drawing her own blood. She also comes equipped with a customised Nodachi for ruthless melee attacks.
Black possesses astonishing telekentic powers, which lets her guide bullets fired from her customised XM-110 sniper rifle with pinpoint accuracy through multiple targets.
Only by combining the unique squad abilities of this paranormal fighting force can gamers survive this hellish nightmare and come closer to the truth.
Right from the off, players face a vicious onslaught from an army of grotesque crusader warriors. These twisted and tormented enemies, whose armour is fused with their rotting flesh and limbs replaced with axes and swords, are powerful, shocking realisations of monsters from the mind of Clive Barker.

Write a Comment»I gotta try this game out. Too bad I won’t be home all weekend (playing paintball).
I downloaded the demo..
way to freaking dark!!!! controls seem a tad off, can’t explain that they just don’t seem to work for me.
After reading this I am going to download this while I’m playing squash and hopefully scare myself when I get home.
Wolfe1027 - A lot of games are too dark for me, just crank the brightness ingame if there is an option like bioshock/halo.
