Star Wars Zero Company: Hands-on previewStar Wars Zero Company surprised us. When EA invited PC Gamer to be one of the first outlets in the world to play their new game, Ted Litchfield went in with high expectations - a Clone Wars tactics game made by former XCOM and Jedi Survivor devs is a slam drunk - but even these were surpassed.
