Clive Barker's Undeadening Plug-and-Play: A Glimpse into Hellish Horror

In a world where survival is paramount, few games dare to plunge players headfirst into the depths of hellish terror like Clive Barker's Undying. Developed by DreamWorks Interactive and published under EA Games' horror banner, this first-person shooter promises an experience that will leave even the most hardened gamers quivering in fear.

Set within the foreboding walls of a 17th-century English town beset on all sides by unholy forces, players take control of a protagonist who has somehow managed to cheat death itself. Armed with nothing but his wits and a trusty pair of pistols, our hero must navigate treacherous corridors infested with unspeakable creatures from beyond the grave.

But fear not, dear reader - Clive Barker's masterful touch ensures that this is no mere generic shooter. With its emphasis on survival horror elements and an atmospheric sound design that will send chills down your spine at every creaking door or groan in the darkness, Undying promises to deliver a truly unforgettable experience.

And what better guide could there be than none other than the master of macabre himself? Horror legend Clive Barker has lent his considerable talents not only as producer but also lends his voice to one of the game's most memorable characters - Ambrose Covenant. A man both brilliant and mad, Covenant is a character you won't soon forget.

But will this unholy union between Barker's dark vision and EA Games' technical prowess prove enough to shake off the mediocrity that plagues so many horror games? Only time (and perhaps several well-placed headshots) will tell. Yet for fans of survival horror looking for something a little more... visceral, Clive Barker's Undying may just be worth taking a chance on.

Rating: 7/10
