A few weeks ago El33tonline teamed up with Sega and Ster Kinekor to bring you an awesome Binary Domain competition that gave you a chance to win a copy of the game on either PS3 or Xbox 360.

We thoroughly enjoyed reading your responses to the competition question: “Who amongst your friends and family do you suspect to be a robot, and why?”. Many of you gave surprisingly convincing answers that made a solid case for the hypothesis that robots have successfully infiltrated our ranks.

PC gamers are often very vocal when it comes to pleading with publishers to port popular console titles over to their preferred platform. Often their pleas fall on deaf ears (e.g. Red Dead Redemption, Dark Souls) but every so often a publisher actually listens and a PC port ensues.

Binary Domain from SEGA was recently released around the world across Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and in a world of third-person cover-based shooters, the game tells a very unique story of how robots have begun to merge into society - your neighbour, co-worker or even a trusted family member could be a robot - and asks players some challenging questions about what it really means to be human.

With the intriguing theme of Binary Domain in mind, El33tonline teamed up with SEGA to give away a copy of the game on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and you have a chance of winning the game if you head on over to El33tonline’s Binary Domain Competition. page and answer a… challenging question.

You’ll see what we mean.

It is the year 2080. Human technology has progressed to the point where robots walk among us, performing menial tasks that humans are no longer capable or willing to do, but when it turns out that a robotics company in Japan can now manufacture robots that not only look human, but also think that they are human, things change. It becomes clear that these robots have been among us for a long time and it is up to the UN to send a team to investigate.

In my mind previewing a game demo must be very similar to what it would be like to go on a blind date. In either situation you’ve been privy to some pertinent information to pique your interest enough to agree to give it a go without really knowing what to expect. You will either have a great time and want to do it again or you’ll run away at first sight. Of course, there’s also a possibility you end up somewhere in between those two extremes and you tentatively decide to go on a second date to dig a bit deeper.

The latter situation (somewhere in between) is more or less how my first encounter with Binary Domain panned out. The singleplayer demo isn’t the prettiest third-person shooter to hit the streets recently but it’s got a lot of character and I’d really like to get to know it better before I make up my mind whether or not to go steady.

SEGA’s robot-imbued action game, Binary Domain, has been in and out of videogame headlines very sporadically since its announcement in late 2010, but the release of the game is all-of-a-sudden upon us, and is now due for release at the end of February (as opposed to the previously announced mid-February launch).

These past few weeks have been kind of busy, with all sorts of videogame information falling straight through the sieve as we juggled our prior engagements.

Not to mention other general activity.

As a result, there are a few pieces of news that we might have missed. Things like… release dates for upcoming games. Let’s try and catch up with some of the bigger release date announcements right now, shall we?

When SEGA’s Binary Domain was first announced in December last year, the reveal went over with a thud, with some critics (and cynics) going as far as to call for the game’s cancellation before it had even been fully revealed.

Today, Binary Domain is (more) fully revealed with a gameplay trailer and a collection of new screenshots to help us decide if this action game is worth the weight in development cost:

SEGA today officially announced the existence of Binary Domain, a new action game scheduled to release on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 next year.

From the mind of Toshihiro Nagoshi, the originator of SEGA’s incredibly popular Yakuza series of open-world games, Binary Domain is a squad-based shooter set in a robot-infested Tokyo, circa the year 2080, and asks the question: “Who is Humanity’s Try Enemy?”

If that wasn’t deep enough for you, here’s another mind-blower: “Are the robots becoming more human, or are humans becoming more like machines?”
