Did a review of this game on my blog.
It is quite cool, definately liked some aspects.. although the storyline is a bit bizare, especially played out through the game (or atleast the demo)

Certainly will be getting the full thing, although not sure if i'll get it on the 360 or Windows yet. Depends if i feel i want to get some more achievements i guess.

The control system mind is very fluid, although the button layout on both the 360 controller and classic keyboard&mouse is a bit iffy imo

Swapping between members of your team also isn't quite as quick as really would've hoped. Still should be pretty cool

@Raven - How did you review it? It's not out yet. The demo came out on PSN and I wasn't impressed. It was just meh.

Jeku, when will you learn. Raven has access to everything. He knows everything. He's worked at every big company you can think of. He is the worlds greatest 3d modeler. Come on! You've known him longer than me!

@Jeku & Dink: It might help if you try and read what people write, and not what you respond to what you THINK they wrote and criticizing them over it. He said he played the demo, not the full game.

I was aiming my joke more directly at Jeku as he always has a problem with Raven's posts. I suppose it could be taken the other way quite easily though...

Chill out, guys. It's an easy mistake to be made--- this wouldn't be the first time he's claimed to play a game before its realize so I made a mistake

Criticize? Puleeze-- I just asked him how he played it. Reread my post Where's a tiny violin when you need one.

You get 3 characters to posses to begin with, but by the end of the demo you should've got all 4 lost members back.
Was quite entertaining, the trailer thing was funny as hell too though.. was so over-the-top it was silly.

There are all sorts of way to get early access to unreleased games.. leaked versions, official beta test freebie, personal contacts, etc.

If you ever get to talk to press, you'll never have a better mate for getting your pre-release games if they're a games reviewer. They often get lots of a freebies. Same goes for people who work at game retail stores (can get them up to 2 weeks prior to release depending on their "scruples" )

While yeah, I've mentioned in the past playing a couple of games pre-release. Reality is very few have been games I can actually take home and are mine. Did try my best to get Halo 3 far earlier than I ended up getting it; but I only got it (although free) a few days before official release. Even then we were told we couldn't play it online else our Live accounts would be revoked. (not that I've used my 360 online in almost 6months)

However just because I have, or have played something pre-release. I have no requirement to explain to you in any fashion how I've aquired it; apart from much else, it would be stupid to mention how in most situations.. becuase it would get either myself or others in to trouble for doing something they really shouldn't.

This said something happening to your english lately, it's like your becoming slowly newbie-fied or something. Especially with how you've been on the forums lately. Stress at work must make you act really weird.

What are you referring to?

Well, I will always question your statements when they come out of nowhere and fly in the face of logic. Next time you post a claim stating you wrote a physics engine over the weekend that rivals Havok, I will ask about it. Next time you claim Sony and Nintendo own Sega, I will ask about it. Call it a journalistic inquisitive tendency to not accept anything as fact unless backed up by proof. Whether or not you want to prove your claims are up to you, obviously

Yeah, because the statement "I wrote a review on the demo that came out a week ago on fileplanet" is so ridiculously beyond possible I don't know how the hell I get away with that stuff.

Must either be full of it, or have sorta pc voodoo I do.
: rolls eyes :

Go bother someone else.

Here's something I don't understand. For everyone that is planning on buying Jericho for PC--- DON'T! You can get it with GameTap for free. The first month is $0.99 so in essence you can play Jericho plus 900+ other games for just $0.99. Not sure if anyone outside of North American can use GameTap, but honestly there is no reason not to use it if you're planning on playing this game.

They have so many games that are new, actually--- the new Tomb Raider Anniversary was on there the day it was released in stores, too.

I just thought I'd let everyone know that.

The story line is very good (as expected if Clive Barker is involved) but the last I heard is that the developers thought that is was too 'story driven' to have online multiplayer. That's a real shame.

It got a 5/10 in EDGE this month and is described as "unambitious" and "hardly a compelling arguement for the future of games". After that I can't even be bothered to download the demo.

I like clive barker though. Maybe he should play more games before he tries to design one.

@Raven: did you play it all the way to the end?
