Clive Barker’s Jericho (PC) review
YouGamers :: Monday, November 05, 2007
“The frustrating linearity is due to the level design, which is more confining than any FPS in recent (or ancient) memory. Levels are little more than corridors, and moving from start to finish there’s a constant sense of being herded. Dulling the experience to an even greater degree are the frequent level loads and checkpoint saves, which are usually followed by a bit of story exposition via in-game cutscenes. Here, the quips between teammates have a certain intentional humor to them, but don’t expect to be drawn in to the story to any meaningful degree.”
Vampire Rain Xbox 360 Review
Gamepyre :: Monday, November 05, 2007
I don’t have possession of enough embittered and venomous word to describe my hate for this game. This is the definitive worst game I have ever played in my life and I have played E.T. on the old Atari. This is the first game I have ever thought about sending back to see if I could get my money back. The only thing that is remotely good about this game is the opening cinematic and the cover art (Well I think it looks cool) Every part of this game is broken and unplayable, one thing it manages to do was make me put down the game controller and go do something else. I have never been this rested I guess that is a good thing. Its mind boggling that interesting games get canceled all the time however horrible games like Vampire Rain get wide releases.
