Why We’re Excited For The Outer Worlds At E3
There’s nothing like a good surprise. Which is why when The Outer Worlds, a brand new roleplaying game set in a brand new science-fiction universe from an iconic studio known for top-notch roleplaying games was announced out of nowhere, there was a genuine air of excitement.
Following The Outer Worlds announcement at The Game Awards at the tail of end 2018, there was a collective double-take as all the pieces came together. Obsidian Entertainment, best known as the creators of little RPG darlings like Fallout: New Vegas, Star Wars: The Knights of the Old Republic 2, and the Pillars of Eternity series, is the driving force behind this new role-playing game. Excellent.
The Twilight Zone: 5 Must-Watch Episodes From the New Season
Warning! Some spoilers from Season 1 of The Twilight Zone on CBS All Access below.
Six decades after we first entered the dimension of sight, sound, and mind, we are officially back in the Zone. As the first season of producer Jordan Peele’s revival of The Twilight Zone comes to a close with episode 10, titled “Blurryman,” the latest journey into a wondrous land of imagination seems to just be getting started, with Season Two already confirmed.
The first season was largely entertaining but the overlong episodes didn’t quite capture the tension, or twists, of the original series. However, it did achieve some high points and was consistently well acted, while hewing close to the morality tale sci-fi/fantasy framework of Rod Serling’s 1959 creation.
