Clive Barker's Jericho
'Clive Barker's Jericho' Hands-On
Our luck ran thick this week, as we got a chance to sit down with author/guru/artist Clive Barker to see his upcoming horror shooter 'Jericho'. This game has you working your way through time -- in reverse -- to uncover some pretty creepy, scary, evil mysteries. The story, penned by Barker, is already creepy, and the game is being built from the ground up by Spanish developer Mercury Steam. From what we saw, this will be a scare fest that horror fans will not want to miss. Expect 'Jericho' to land sometime in September (we've been told the end of that month). We'll have an interview with Clive coming soon as well.

'BioShock'
If you didn't see it yet, we got a chance to try this "genetically enhanced" first person shooter this week. See all the waterlogged details here.

'MotorStorm' Downloadable Content & Patches
For those of you who are bored with the scant play modes in Motorstorm for the PS3, your prayers have been (sort of) answered. Sony has released a new Time Attack mode for the offroad racer. This mode pits you not against other racers, but against time. Get the best lap time and move your way to the top of the online charts. You can also upload and download "ghost cars" to see how top players maneuvered the tracks. The update also fixes some bugs and random online crashes. It also contains an update to the online lobby that allows you to browse the status of rooms without actually entering them.

Out This Week
  • 'DiRT' (Xbox 360): The anticipated rally racer for the Xbox 360 finally hit shelves this week. Reviews are mixed, but rally fans should be into this one. Look for a hands-on from us next week.
  • 'Sim City DS' (Nintendo DS): As if the Nintendo handheld wasn't addictive enough, they went and released one of the most addictive games for the portable monster. Kiss your social life goodbye.
  • 'The Sims: Pet Stories' (PC): If you're tired of simming the lives of people, you can now sim the lives of pets. Sims fans will not be disappointed in this one. Non-Sims fans should move along.
