Clive Barker's Jericho: Introduction


“…and God created The Firstborn in his own image.  An entity neither male nor female, dark nor light; a singular being that was both beautiful and terrible to behold.  Disturbed ty the power of his creation, God left it unfinished, banishing The Firstborn from reality to the Abyss, forsaken and unloved.”

These are some of the opening lines of Clive Barker’s “Jericho” a very mediocre, yet all around awesome, game released in 2007, developed by MercurySteam and published by Codemasters.  “Jericho”, despite being relatively well-known as a pile of complete crap, has gone mostly forgotten to time.  It wasn’t good enough to make an impact and it wasn’t bad enough to be memorable.
