Are you a major Star Wars fan who will play just about any game that comes from that brilliant universe? OK, I have a second qualifying question. Are you a fan of turn-based tactics titles?

If you answered yes to either of those questions — and definitely if you nodded to both — you'll likely be into Star Wars Zero Company. The next Star Wars game is on the way. Let's talk video games.

The Collector’s Edition is for real ones only. The $300 price tag won’t scare off the most intense Star Wars fanatics. If your eyes got as large as Yoda’s when you read that, you might not be the target audience for it. It’s OK, you can still be a jedi.
