Futurist Michio Kaku should take a page from Binary Domain's book and modify his typically cheery preambles to "In the future, heartless robots will ruthlessly hunt their mortal creators in the bowels of a utopian city that stretches into the clouds."

Video Blips:

• Squad-based shooter Binary Domain blurs the line between good and evil in with a war for survival between robots and humans. Cole Train clone aside, can someone explain to me why English-speaking soldiers are apparently fighting in Tokyo?

Continue after the break for the manful Unbound Saga Xbox Live Arcade launch trailer, an impromptu NBA Jam arcade gaming session, and a rundown of Tron: Evolution's busy multiplayer.

• Unbound Saga protagonist Rick Ajax gruffly boasts of his formidable beat-'em-up skills. He also evidently took one too many punches to that chiseled jaw of his, since his next target is the very hand that drew him.

• A magically appearing NBA Jam arcade machine lures Orlando Magic player Dwight Howard out of his subway lair. See how Happy Accordian Man entrances the crowd with his hypnotizing dance? Wait, is this still about NBA Jam?

• Tron: Evolution's multiplayer injects a little randomness by mixing bots with real players. Now I'll never know if "CaptainKrunK865" was actually a person or the computer's idea of a lame joke.
