Clive Barker's Jericholooks like an awesome game,

although I wonder have alot of PC gamers heard of it?

The demo was good although controls were a bit iffy, but they have some time to clean that up.

anyone?

Seems like it's going to be a good game from everything I've heard and viewed. I'm not anticipating its release, but I'm sure I will pick it up eventually and try it out.

The game looked really interesting, but I didn't like the demo (played it on 360). So I'm a little unsure. I think this game calls for a Blockbuster month-rental.

I did...but then I've played the demo. Maybe Undying spoiled me, but I was expecting great serious horror game, while Jericho is like "Clive Barker's G.I.Joe" mod for Painkiller. The game is silly, there's no horror, the acting is as "deep" as Serious Sam. There are some cool bits and pieces here and there, but those cool Barker ideas are wasted in such silly game.

Check out The Thief of always, Imajica, Everville and like that other guy said, The Great and Secret Show. The Books of Blood collection are really good too.

I played the demo and the game seemed really cool. Including visuals. Although like some have said before I expected more of a horror element in the demo. But hopefuly the "Full" game will have more of that. I like to think they just couldnt fit that into the demo.

C'mon, it's nothing like that.Nightbreed is an amazing fantasy movie,more of a grown-up fairytale,with a social meaning beneath it's surface. Really great,but it is not a horror movie...

The game looks and sounds really good but the demo was a little bit disspointing because I expected a lot more than what we got for over 1GB.

The demo was horribly short,had some of the worst control ever( primary weapon on right mouse button in default?!?!) andhadclaustrophobic level. The stupid consoles ruined what could one of the best game on PC.

Prio to playing the demo I was excited. Now I'm not. And I wouldn't care If i never played the full version of the game. The plot is so bad its laughable. The controls arnt bad, I dont think it as even possible to die in the demo, when you didn't complete a interactive cut scene you just went back in time like 5 seconds. Very disappointing.

After playing the PC demo, I'd say no. The crappy button scene near the end when falling down the well was terrible. The combat was weak feeling. Also it ran badly on my PC for such a small area it had to detail, I'd hate to see how sluggish the larger levels play.

This game needs the Timeshift makeover, give it another year and it could be twice as good.

Just to touch up the controls above all else. Gameplay wasnt that bad =/

I was hyped after I played the demo but then I started noticing alot of the problems with it. It's just another port game that could have been really good imo. But i'll wait to give the final verdict after the user reviews start coming out for it.

For some reason the demo overheats the hell out of my video card (8800 GTX). It's not that big of a hog, is it?

lol i didnt write that very well...i was using Hellraiser as a comparison for Clive Barker's work, not comparing the movie theme/story to Nightbreed. and its technically classed as a horror/fantasy, like most of Clive's work. just coz it doesnt scare you doesnt remove its horror theme. theres supernatural elements, some demonic symbolism as well as (i dare say the word) monsters involved. read the book Cabal. gives a better insight. but yes, it definitely leans more toward fantasy than horror.
