Binary Domain Review (Spong)

Perhaps the strangest thing about Binary Domain, a squad-based third-person shooter full of manly-looking heroic Americans and Brits, is that it was actually made by a Japanese developer, Japan being a country which is generally just not interested in shooting games. Specifically designed by Yakuza Studio to appeal to both its home territory and western markets, there’s really very little about Binary Domain’s combat gameplay to set it apart from other third-person shooters. The cover mechanics, controls, just about everything will feel very familiar to anyone who’s played Gears of War or Mass Effect.
