Codemasters has announced that its action/horror game Clive Barker’s Jericho has shipped to retail outlets nationwide. The squad-based shooter is available for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 and mingles the darkest elements of Barker’s horror fiction with an age-spanning story aimed at mature gamers. The game demo is still available on XBL Marketplace, and 360 owners who wish to play the game – I HIGHLY suggest you play the demo first before making your purchasing decision.

Jericho dispatches gamers to the Middle-Eastern city of Al-Khali, where the most ancient of evils has resurfaced; causing intense paranormal activity that has caught the eye of the military. Controlling the Jericho squad, an expert strike team skilled in both conventional and paranormal warfare, players fight their way through slices of time on a grueling journey as they make their way toward the heart of the evil. Along the way, gamers encounter the horrific armies of hellish denizens that now rule the city and corrupt everything they touch, and as they incrementally approach the source of evil, players will have to rely less and less on traditional weapons and instead focus on the combined psychic talents of the Jericho Squad.

GameTap Gold level subscribers can also a purchase Clive Barker’s Jericho via download from GameTap’s digital storefront and play on the same day as retail release. For more information on GameTap, click here.

We received two new trailers and some screenshots from Codemaster’s today, and although one of the trailers is a TV advert, you must still go through an age gate. I have provided links to the trailers below and a link to more screens.
