Whether it\u2019s the final frontier or a galaxy far, far away, space has been a mainstay in pop culture for a very long time. Our fascination with what\u2019s beyond our skies has led to some of the most memorable moments in entertainment, from the ominous sound of an ever-advancing alien attack in 1978\u2019s Space Invaders or 2001: A Space Odyssey\u2019s psychedelic stargate sequence, to when Spock makes the ultimate sacrifice in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, because \u201cthe needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Starfield opening up a universe of new possibilities, we wanted to celebrate the very best in sci-fi: the space games, TV shows, and movies that captured our hearts and our imaginations, and how the past has influenced the future.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Today, on the eve of Starfield\u2019s launch \u2013 perhaps the most ambitious space game ever made \u2013 we look at why there aren\u2019t more games in the space RPG genre when the traditional fantasy role-playing scene continues to grow. We also invite you to vote for the best space game of all time and will reveal your winners later in the week.<\/p>\n

Our fascination with what\u2019s beyond our skies has led to some of the most memorable moments in entertainment, from 1978\u2019s Space Invaders to 2001: A Space Odyssey\u2019s psychedelic stargate sequence<\/section>\n

Of course, Starfield isn\u2019t just the latest in the long line of sci-fi blockbusters, and it likely wouldn\u2019t exist if it wasn\u2019t for the games that have continued to push boundaries for the last four decades. These include role-playing games from Bethesda itself, which have defined the genre since Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind was released over 20 years ago and we\u2019ll be taking a look at the studio\u2019s history. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll also be rounding up the best sci-fi movies of all time and telling you where you can watch the best sci-fi TV right now, plus of course, going into greater detail about Starfield as we continue our journey alongside you.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll have new content every day this week and below is just a snapshot of what to expect. So buckle up, because the next few days are going to be a blast.
