Let’s face it, the combination of the name “Binary Domain” and the equally generic box art don’t really scream “Totally worth your $60″. It’s a sad fact. What’s more sad than that, is that some people will pass on this game due to those reasons mentioned, and this is not a game to be judged literally by its cover.

Anomaly: Warzone Earth really piqued my interest with it’s promise to basically be the complete opposite of the average “Tower Defense” game.

Watching this new assassin spin a tomahawk around in his hand was enough to make me smile. And who knows if that is even something to smile about, really.

Asura’s Wrath started out as a game that I was quick to dismiss as a bunch of nonsensical fight sequences strung together by the thinnest of story threads. However, by about the midway point, I realized that I was actually enjoying Asura’s Wrath for that very reason.

What could be passed off to the casual observer as simply a “Poke’mon Clone” is much more, and goes deeper than most ever expected.
