Binary Domain Binary Domain Yakuza

Matt Bradford wrote news and features here at GamesRadar+ until 2016. Since then he's gone on to work with the Guinness World Records, acting as writer and researcher for the annual Gamer's Edition series of books, and has worked as an editor, technical writer, and voice actor. Matt is now a freelance journalist and editor, generating copy across a multitude of industries. 

You could spend this Valentine's week buying flowers and making reservations, or you could snuggle up with someone special and spend the night slaughtering homicidal robots in a dystopic futuristic setting. Your call. However, should you choose the latter, Sega will today be releasing a demo for Binary Domain on the PlayStation Network, followed by a version for Xbox 360 fans tomorrow.

The demo will take players through two of the game's earlier missions, set amidst the rubble of a futuristic Tokyo under attack from sentient robots. Players will assume command of the game's main (hu)man, Dan Marshall, and use voice commands to lead a team of squadmates to victory and/or brutal defeat. In addition, Binary Domain's sneak peak will introduce players to the title's Consequence System, wherein teammates will perform differently in battle depending on how much they agree or disagree with the player's actions and decisions.

Sega's shooter will also ship with a multiplayer component, which was teased earlier this week in a new gameplay trailer.
