You don’t know Jericho: Meet Billie Church

Another game I’m looking forward to is Clive Barker’s Jericho, which is scheduled to come out on the 23rd this month. Like his previous foray into games, Clive Barker made Jericho a first-person shooter. This time, there’s a twist: you control multiple members of a special ops team. Yes, the previous “special” abilities similar to that of Patrick Galloway’s in Undying is still here, so expect more detailed weirdness in Jericho.

Among the members of this special ops team is Wilhelmina “Billie” Church, a sergeant that decides to combat hordes of undead in a skimpy outfit.

Did I mention she totes around a nodachi? Yes, you can use a pistol and swing a sword at the same time—according to the video, at least. This game is probably the first tactical shooter I’ve played that has nothing to do with modern military themes. Let’s see how it plays out when the game ships. Expect a review within the month.
