Clive Barker's Jericho is a horror FPS released on Xbox 360 and PS3 on October 26, 2007, developed by Mercury Stream Entertainment and published by Codemaster. This game was co-produced by the film director Clive Barker, who had produced Hellraiser.

The history of the game begins when Ross, leader of the elite section of Jericho, which is specialized in paranormal matters and fight against demonic creatures, is contacted by his supervisor in the middle of the night. His team and he will then have to go to the temple of Al-Khali, where a powerful paranormal activity seems to be. Once there, they will quickly realize that all of this is the work of the necromancer Leach, who wants to liberate the Firstborn, a creature that was a prototype of man created by God. The First Born was locked up by God in "the box".

We embody Ross, head of the squad Jericho, who is a medium. However, during the first level of the game he is killed by Leach. Ross had lost his body, but continues to help his team by staying in the body of its various members. The player can change of character at any time by projecting the spirit of Ross in the body of any member of Jericho.

The squad includes 6 members, in addition to Ross, each with different powers and weapons. Frank Delgado is the most violent member of the team. He is armed with a Gatling and possesses a demon of fire in his arm. Abigail Black is the sniper of the squad. Her power of telekinesis allows her to control her bullets in order to kill several enemies at once. Church is the most agile member of the group, and has a katana. Her power of blood allows her to immobilize the enemies during a short time. The priest Rawling is armed with two pistols and can heal his comrades. Jones, a medium, can project his spirit and temporarily take control of an enemy. Finally Cole, the youngest member of the team, is an expert in computer and can locate the weaknesses of the enemies. This team has to go through 4 different times to prevent the Firstborn to cause chaos.

Gore and unhealthy Clive barker's Jericho is reserved for a warned adult public. Its original gameplay set the game apart from other FPS games.
