Before I begin, I must stress that this article will contain ending spoilers for The Darkness 2 and inFamous 2, because I’m going to be discussing the endings for each game. By choosing these games I don’t mean to say that they are the perfect examples of what I’m about to discuss, but they are certainly the two most recent for me.
Binary Domain is a cyberpunk cover-based shooting game about shooting robots in Japan while issuing commands to your teammates. This may not seem like the most compelling and original premise in the entire world, but where Binary Domain seeks to stand out is not in reinventing the formula, but rather doing it better and in more compelling and experimental ways.

Apparently Square Enix isn’t planning on stopping the cross-franchise costuming anytime soon, as there is a new rumor floating around that Mass Effect gear is on the horizon for Final Fantasy XIII-2.
With Starbreeze’s Syndicate hitting shelves this week, many gamers will be fantasizing about how cool it would be to become a cyborg. But if there’s anything we can learn from cyberpunk stories it’s that augmenting the human body with machinery can cause more harm than good. With that in mind, here are some video game cyborgernetic augmentations that players are better off not getting if they ever become real.
EA Canada’s return to the world of extreme sports and to a series that has never graced the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3, SSX, releases its demo today on Xbox Live, and tomorrow for PSN.
