Road Rash II, Strider Coming to Sega Genesis Mini

We haven’t even gotten to E3 2019 yet but we’re already getting big gaming announcements. Sega revealed the final list of games for the Sega Genesis Mini, and even added an extra surprise: instead of the 40 games it initially promised, Sega announced an additional 12 today, bringing the total number of Genesis classics to 42.

Among the newly announced games are Road Rash II and the 8MB wonder, Strider. Perhaps even cooler is the addition of games that never officially came to the Sega Genesis, including Monster World IV, Tetris, and Darius. Sega said E3 2019 attendees will be among the first in the world to play the Genesis port of Tetris (Tetris came to the Mega Drive in 1989, but Nintendo had US distribution rights at the time).

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 roleplaying 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.

Keanu and 12 Other Unforgettable Times Celebs Played Themselves

There’s plenty of brilliant things about the arrival of Ali Wong and Randall Park’s lovely Netflix rom-com Always Be My Maybe. The predominantly Asian American cast, the subtle balance of humor and heart, and, of course, Keanu Reeves playing a very hyper-ridiculous version of himself. This example of a meta-celebrity cameo feels particularly brave and funny with the notoriously private actor crafting a ridiculous version of himself that mocks the very idea of the dark and enigmatic celebrity bad boy.

Reeves’ awesome performance matched with Wong, Park, and Michael Golamco’s super-smart screenplay got us thinking about other times celebrities played themselves. The satirical self-cameo is nothing less than a Hollywood tradition and there are plenty of examples of some of the biggest names to have graced the silver screen taking on roles that parody their public personas and lives both off and on screen.
