Clive Barker may not be as prolific as Stephen King but his books are just as terrifying. The author has written over twenty including bestsellers The Books of Blood, Weaveworld, Imajica, The Thief Of Always and Abarat I & II. Maybe you're more familiar with the horror classic films he wrote, directed and produced: Hellraiser, Candyman, Nightbreed, Lord of Illusions and Gods and Monsters.

Some time next year Barker will shock Xbox 360 and PS3 gamers with the release of Clive Barker's Jericho, an original paranormal-horror action title rich in visuals and phantasmagorical special effects. Clive Barker's Jericho mixes the darkest elements of BarkerÂ’s horror fiction and films with an ambitious, age-spanning story for mature gamers as well as Barker fans and horror fiction enthusiasts.

Clive BarkerÂ’s Jericho revolves around the mysterious reappearance of a lost city in a remote desert. Along with the city, a form of evil as old as Earth resurfaces from there. A Special Forces squad, trained in both conventional warfare and the secret arts, must hunt down and destroy the evil that lurks at the heart of the city before it destroys humanity.

“This project is very close to my heart and I don’t believe there's ever been anything like it. It promises to be the most spectacular, creative, and unflinching realization of a Clive Barker nightmare that will drag players in kicking and screaming. Players will constantly be given new challenges, new environments, and yes, new horrors and abominations to face every step of the way,” says Clive Barker. “However, unlike a conventional game in which the characters are attempting to escape at the end of their ride through Hell, our protagonists have a much more difficult task. The closer they come to the end of their trek into darkness, the nearer they get to the source of that darkness: Evil Incarnate, we'll call it for now…"

With an Evil incarnate playing the bad guy, you know this is going to be one hell of a ride! Clive Barker's Jericho is being developed for the Xbox 360 and PS3 by Codemasters.

clive barker eh?

I really enjoyed 'Undying' for the PC, perhaps this will be just as good or even better.

C.B.'s the man!

#2 - F*ck your mother and die. #3 - Yeah, 'Undying' scared me sh*tless way back in the day. It's still one of my top 20 games. Anyways, C.Barker's books are awesome, and a few of his movies are good. I really liked the spins he put on the FPS in Undying, so I'm hoping this is one of those games you have to quit every 30 minutes to regather your courage. Here's hoping.

Nice! Only for 360 & PS3 huh?

This game sounds creepy. Did anyone else notice that most of the Multi-platform games are comeing out for PS3 and 360 only, and not Wii? Got nothing on Wii, but it seems that their 1st party is going to be stronger then their 3rd party just like last gen.
