Binary Domain captured the spirit of the 80s action movies gloriously, while also putting a distinct Japanese coat of paint over it and sprinkling it with some philosophical themes for good measure as a finishing touch, making it a surprisingly interesting experience, despite its slightly tiresome Gears of War gameplay structure.
Pros: Surprisingly great, believable and endearing characters, really strong finish to the game (both story and gameplay wise), just the right amount of cheese, diverse campaign, funny, some really great sections, well written and acted, interesting design choices, solid shooting (after you've upgraded your weapon) and cover mechanics, novel microphone integration...
Cons: ...shame it's piss poor in practice, every so often you'll find yourself playing an overly long shootout session in a boring arena, bland visuals, shooting in the first third of the game is not particularly fun, story takes its sweet time to get going
