I'm looking forward to checking out the demo, but it may be a while before I get to it with Halo 3, TF2 and Bioshock all vying for my attention.

The videos I've seen look pretty 'meh' but I'm a big fan of Clive and I liked Undying a lot, so who knows. It'll be on Gametap at release so if nothing else I'll definitely check out the full game that way.

I just finished playing through the demo on the PC and i liked it quite a bit. Very nice graphics and you can switch between 3 different teammates with varying powers and weapons which is quite well done and adds replay value to the demo. It is on the rather short side though with around 15 minutes or so of gameplay. On the downside the game is very consolized with some God of War like button pressing sequences that are rather annoying and it also has auto aim and other such console type features some of which can be turned off. I'll probably be picking this up but i am a sucker for horror games.

Is this demo going to come to XBL, does anyone know?

It's already up on XBL. I played for a few minutes and it's got an interesting mix of shooting and mystical powers. Like Podunk, I have some other stuff to play before I can get to this.

I played the PC demo last night. When you get the "Press Enter or Start button" to continue on the title screen you know you're about to play a half-assed console port. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it just didn't "feel" right playing. I think partly it was the mouse control since for mouse speed there was no slider, it just had 3 settings; Low, Medium, High. I tried all 3 and none seemed right. I'd probably get used to it after a while, though. What really got me was a part I ran into (and I think it's what Stric9 is talking about above) where you have to press the movement keys in a specific order displayed on the screen. It reminded me of those aracde games I used to play as a kid like Dragon's Lair, Space Ace, Cliff Hanger (man, I loved that game), etc. where you have to memorize joystick directions for each scene to continue. Anyway, I hadn't read much about Jericho so had no idea that was coming and kind of threw me when it appeared in what I thought was a horror FPS game. I probably wouldn't have been so annoyed by it if it was maybe a little more forgiving. After about 15 attempts I quit the game and uninstalled it. I may have been a little hasty and will probably reinstall it this weekend to give it another shot.

I love pretty much anything Clive Barker and Undying was just awesomeness on a little disc, but I might be giving Jericho a pass. I guess it will depend on the reviews and how often those "quick time events" occur.

The Stranglehold demo I was just playing springs to mind.

I'd like to think that no-one is that dumb, but there's clearly a significant enough risk that someone may do so.

Turn off a PC in the middle of a save? Come on, name one other PC game with that warning. PC users are rigorously trained to only shut down from the Start menu, which you can't even see while the game's playing. It's clearly an artifact of the console version. I'm not saying it's bad or that it's a bad port, just that it makes me laugh every time I see it.

This brings back repressed memories of parents shutting off my NES at crucial moments in games. I don't think a warning would have stopped them though.

This is one of those games that has enough good that I want to praise it but the fundamental gameplay isn't very good.

Like someone else mentioned the mouse controls really turned me off. I like crisp and rigid mouse control. I don't like it being swishy and slidey like i'm moving through water. The graphics were good but at the same time, not good because the great looking monsters aren't really seen in the fast paced gameplay.

Silent Hill 2 and 3 did a great job of making the monsters scary because they moved toward you slowly, the action was a mild pace. You got a good look at them as they herk and jerked their way to you. Jericho i could be shooting at blocks and I wouldnt notice really cause the graphics are dark and all the palette and the action speed is fast.

What did I like? The story is great, i wish this was a movie or tv series, complete with Jericho team and personalities. The squad based play is good, although I don't know about for a FPS, I'd rather have something more tactical. The character design is awesome, I love the look of the team. The ambient effects are cool, definitely creepy.

I feel like they just missed the boat on this one

I stopped playing not even 5 minutes into the demo. I wasn't that into it.

Played this last night and it feels flimsy and cheap. The gun play seems really lame and lightweight--each weapon seems to tick and click when fired, instead of emitting a decent bang per round. The enemies shown all seem to be from the Run Straight at the Player Until I Am Dead school of AI stupidity. The only challenge was not walking too quickly and becoming overwhelmed--and by "overwhelmed" I mean having to fight more than two at a time.

Switching between characters added seemingly nothing to the gameplay, and each characters "special" ability seemed clumsy and have practically no tactical merit. Except for the guided sniper shot, which was merely "meh".

I think something's been lost in translation thematically, too: buckets of blood and lots of raw skin and exposed bone do not automatically a horror make. Nothing in the demo frightened me in the slightest (except for what I described earlier). It just made me illicit a series of disgusted groans at how clichéd and pedestrian the whole thing was.

And I nearly threw my controller at the screen when that utterly pointless Quick Time Event showed up. I tried it twice, failed both times, then quit the demo and deleted it in disgust at the apparent cynicism permeating the whole experience.

So, for those still not clear on where I'm coming from, I'm piling my money firmly against the "one of the year's biggest disappointments" side of the fence.

I just got around to downloading the PC demo over steam. It wasn't too bad until I got to the Quick Time Event, button pressing sequence, or whatever you'd like to call it. Your character falls down a hole in the ground, a well or something, and you have to press buttons corresponding to arrows showing on the screen. The problem is that they only show each arrow for about half a second or so and when I do press it on time it doesn't seem to register at all. The result of this is that I get to watch an infinite loop of my character jumping down a well with a bloody faceplant at the bottom.

That probably takes the price for dumbest sh*t ever in a demo.
