Starcom was made by a small indie studio called Grey Software. It is their only title. It is also far better than it has any right to be, somehow managing to marry top-down and side-scrolling perspectives together. In this return to video reviews, Lawnie talks about just how underrated this game has been, both by himself and the gaming world.
