Quote:

""What's the sickest thing that you've put into the game so far?

Falke: The game is basically the Argos Catalogue of foul. It depends on what sir requires to sate his desire for the disgusting. How does a child who's been ripped in half and attacks you with its entrails sound? A suicide bomber who puts the explosive inside his body? How about a woman who makes her furniture out of human flesh? A man who's been nailed to a cross, every joint in his body fused to that so that he suffers for eternity? How about a guy who's flayed the skin on his back into wings and dug the flesh out around his eye sockets so he can better see his prey? Take your pick. Sick bags sold separately.""

well as long as they dont do all is this "sick" type of stuff as nothing more than a poor selling point IF it has a meaning then cool, if not then it will just end up next to manhunt as pathetic.

I think some of the game ideas are cool, and i really like the sound of this quote,

""Charming. So what eras do the people trapped there come from?

Falke: Previous Jericho Squads include Sumerian priests, Roman centurions, Knights Templar and British commandos. Some have succumbed to 'the Box' and become servants of the evil force that rules there. Others have held out, attempting to aid
the next generation of warriors who must save their world. All have been altered by the experience.

Eternal Darkness is one of the best games ever made - and is reason enough to own a Gamecube/Wii.

As for the sickness in Jericho, sounds like typical Clive Barker fare. Being a long time fan of his written work, I can tell anyone who is not familiar with the author, that sick is SOP (standard operating procedure) in his works. The best part is, none of it is written or included for the sake of shock value. Barker is a consummate writer, who's style jumps off the page as if you were watching it in film and which inhabits a lot of the more classic writing paradigms, like everything, including the names of characters and places, have a reason and have a deeper meaning.

With that said, with luck this will all translate well to the interactive form for this second outing. Barkers freshman foray into videogames, Undying (PC - 2001), not only worked out very well, but is considered an instant classic by many PC gamers and the gaming press, and is without a doubt one of the scariest games to ever see release. With luck, Jericho, will turn out even better.

Needless to say, I am keeping my eye on this one. With todays graphic hardware, if they nail the game right and translate the mind child Barker seamlessly once again into the digital world, sick is going to be the new hotness.
