Anything is possible in a video game.
You want to take over the world? Do it. You want to kill zombies? Do it. You want to drive a Ferrari? Shoot electricity out of your finger tips? Hook up with someone way out of your league? You can do it, gamer.
If your dream is to explore the recesses of space, battle aliens and discover new civilizations, you're in luck. Space was one of the first genres of video games and remains popular to this day, with Star Wars: Battlefront and a new Halo being released for Xbox One and Planetside 2 being available for the Play Station 4, among other titles.
