Clive Barker's Jericho

Hell is raised again

When faced with some of the twisted specters that Clive has devised, you'd be right to expect some rather unpleasant face-offs in Al-Khali, but when it comes to actual damage, things get a touch more complicated. None of the team can be allowed to actually die (presumably because some puzzles need every combo ingredient), so as well as your health regenerating, any entirely wiped-out team member can be revived either directly by Ross, or by exorcist Father Rawlings, just by being in his line of sight. Seeing as this makes a potential mockery of the entire combat angle though, Al-Khali had better provide some pretty ingenious challenges.
Aside from the spectral skipper Devin Ross (through whom each of the team can "thread" their abilities to create brand new skills - so not only can you predict where a bullet will strike, but even guide them round corners), the team consists of bulky Gears reject Sgt. Frank Delgado (a flame-throwing "pyromancer"), numerologist genius Corporal Simone Cole (who basically acts as your HUD), Captain Xavier Jones (a seer with second sight), telekinetic sniper Lt. Abigail Black, spunky emo-type Sgt. Billie Church (a samurai sword-wielding spellcaster), and, spookiest of all, exorcist and Vietnam vet Father Paul Rawlings.
