Respawn: Cilve Barker’s Jericho

September 5, 2010 | Justin Moody | Xbox 360 Features

Clive Barker Jericho is a horror themed first person shooter—not much else to say about. There are some squad mechanics if that means anything to anyone… there is some gore, there is some more shooting… there is nothing of this game that I can justify in saying that it’s groundbreaking as this game is so mediocre… it almost seems a tad bit funny. From the famed Clive Barker, this game is a very mediocre game but it looks pretty and that’s all there is to it. The art design is impeccable, the story is interesting and disappointing, a rollercoaster ride really. The premise is very tasteful and promising—on paper, it looked rad and that’s something I took into account when I got a copy… but when I look back at such a time… the execution left a lot to be desired. Factors such as lazy level design, sub-par friendly AI, and absolutely atrocious ending of a storyline, such factors help bring this down to be one of the worse games that the Respawn feature ever had to revisit.

The latest issue of Japanese magazine Famitsu (Via kotaku) has unveiled a Sony Computer Entertainment game called Tokyo Jungle. This completely mad sounding title is set in Japan in the near future, where apparently the city has become completed over run by wild animals. It is meant to be a post-apocalyptic type landscape where mankind has all but vanished and the animals are left to have the run of the abandoned city. The array of animals in the game seems varied and oddly eclectic and includes: lions, tigers, elephants, crocodiles, cheetahs, porcupines, chickens, ostriches.
