Binary Domain does look awesome.
As for rape, with context and not doing just for yucks, but giving it the gravity it deserves, it can be implemented into a good story. There's a Clive Owen one called I'll Sleep When I'm Dead about Owen avenging his younger brother who was raped and killed by the mob guys he used to work with. And there's I Spit on Your Grave which I have yet to see the second part of Cinema Snob's review for, but it's been called everything from "trash" to "female empowerment fantasy" (cause she gets her revenge), apparently.
But it's a disgusting act no matter what the setting, so I understand your stomach bile reaction to it, especially in a dumb zombie flick where it's just not needed, and will be avoiding that movie. I'll also be avoiding I Spit On Your Grave for that matter, but at least that one seems like it took the matter seriously with proper gravitas.
