Clive Barker's Jericho - Image 1News surfaced yesterday that the USK has refused to give Codemasters' Clive Barker's Jericho (PC, PS3, Xbox 360) a rating. Without a rating, the game cannot be sold to minors and cannot be displayed or openly advertised.

In response to the USK decision, Codemasters has announced that it will not be releasing the console versions of the game in Germany. Instead, only the PC version of Clive Barker's Jericho will be released in that particular territory. Here's a snippet off Codemasters' announcement:

Codemasters respects Mr Barker's creative ideas, despite the German distribution and marketing consequences for the title. Therefore Codemasters will release only the PC version of Clive Barker's Jericho in its original form for adult gamers and Clive Barker fans.


Clive Barker's Jericho is currently scheduled for an October 26 European release. Demos for all three versions of the game are coming this week.

Way to go Codemasters! I applaud you!



Why should you have to deal with inept government? If their constituents want your title, let them deal with their government themselves!



You shouldnt have to compromise your work while you have an entire world anxiously awaiting it.



*clap*

I guess if you're a gamer in Germany you have to import your console and games to play anything decent due to the lack of free expression.



This is the world according to Jackass Thompson. There's no teen violence in Germany, right? Take away the violence in games and everyone becomes peaceful! What a joke!
