You might have already tried the demo of Clive Barker's Jericho, but spare a thought for your German Brüder und Schwestern. Codemasters' horror title has been denied a rating by the Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle, the German classification board, which was not impressed by the game's mature content.

The rating denial means the game can't be sold to minors or advertised, and because Microsoft and Sony won't publish games without a rating, the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions will not make it to Germany.

But that's good enough for Codemasters, which has vowed to release the unedited PC version and accept the fate of the console ones.


In Australia, the OFLC has rated Jericho MA15+ for "strong horror violence" and "coarse language".
