Billy Church is a kitana-wielding assassin, handy with a machine pistol and a head full of voodoo spells. Delgado uses this to his advantage by firing massive bursts of fire at his enemies, which is always nice when facing off against a surging horde of hell-beasts. Sergeant Frank Delgado is the typical mini-gun toting brute, except that his right arm is possessed by a flame spirit named Ababanili. This gang of misfits and miscreants share the typical Barker-esque melding of technology and magic. These are no ordinary bug-hunting, cigar-chomping, cybernetically-enhanced space marines.
Humanity responds as it always does in video games: send in the Marines. The theme of a hellish megalopolis rising out of the desert is a familiar one for fans of Barker, Harlan Ellison, and anyone who's been to Phoenix. This time it's modern day and the baddies have risen once more to challenge the rule of man. The game takes place in the peaceful village of Al-Khali: the site of an ancient city, built and rebuilt, conquered and re-conquered over and over throughout history. What better setting for hell on Earth than the Middle East? Once more, the forces of darkness have returned to overtake the world in the name of all things boney and creepy. Like much of Barker's work, Jericho melds the worlds of technology and religion, the profane and the sacred, with plenty of blood, flesh, and BDSM imagery.
Barker's unique blend of horror and mysticism returns to the video game market with the upcoming Jericho. A genuinely scary game, Undying set the stage and raised the bar for horror games and horror-based FPS. Barker originally turned his gore-splattered gaze upon the gaming world and released 2001's answer to a good night's sleep, Undying. ApThe name Clive Barker conjures many images: uniquely talented author, playwright, and horror icon with a predilection for gore and a flair for the fabulous.
