Yahtzee is riled up again, this time about Clive Barker’s Jericho. I can’t really blame him for this one, my own experiences with the demo were enough to make me want to disembowel some kittens.

Following Germany’s decision to deny Jericho a rating, Codemasters faced a similar predicament to Take-Two with Manhunt 2: either edit/remove content, or stand their ground on the game’s artistic merits. Their decision to proceed with the latter is an admirable one, but will also serve to irritate German Xbox and PS3 gamers.
Explaining their reasons behind the tough choice, Codemasters told GamesIndustryBiz,
Codemasters respects Mr Barker’s creative ideas, despite the German distribution and marketing consequences for the title. Therefore Codemasters will release only the PC version of Clive Barker’s Jericho in its original form for adult gamers and Clive Barker fans
A demo for Clive Barker’s Jericho will be released this Thursday, and in a rare, but much appreciated move, Codemasters have managed to organize a simultaneous release for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC users.
Unless you’re a PlayStation 3 user in Europe, that is - in which case you’ll be waiting until next week…or setting yourself up a US-based PlayStation Network account.
