"There have always been great sci-fi games. But in the last 15 years, we've gone from wondering what it would be like to be able to play the kind of grand sci-fi adventures we've seen in movies, TV shows, and books to actually playing things that now can't be replicated in any other medium.
Yes, improvements in video game technology have contributed to sci-fi games becoming bigger and better, but science fiction has always been about so much more than fantastic technology. The best sci-fi stories often find the humanity in the alien and the intimate in the infinite, and that's just what many of the best sci-fi games of the last 15 years do. Whether they're taking us to the furthest reaches of outer space or offering us a peek at a not-too-distant future, gaming's greatest sci-fi adventures allow us to control experiences that could previously only be witnessed."
