We’re officially excited about The Outsider - despite the fact that it’s still a loooong way off yet. Penciled in for ‘09, Frontier’s plans for its all-action freeform thriller are so large it’s going to take all that time and more for them to realise its obvious potential.

Feb 21, 2007
Were pretty excited about The Outsider - its one of the few games out there thats genuinely attempting to break new ground. Okay, the ingredients, although quite cool-sounding, dont really hint at revolution: youre a CIA agent, Jameson, based in Washington but through no fault of your own end up as public enemy number one in the eyes of the media and the public after the President gets popped. But from here you make your own path - do you wreak revenge on those who wronged you? Try and clear ...   » Read Full The Outsider preview
