Chris Buffa (Modojo): Smart phone critics refuse to acknowledge iPhone and iPad as gaming platforms because they lack buttons and analog sticks. It's a valid point, as virtual sticks cannot compare to an Xbox 360 controller's, yet developers attempt to shoehorn console quality experiences onto these devices anyway, oftentimes with disastrous results.
SteamFirst: EPOCH…oh, EPOCH, I wanted so badly to like you. You looked like fun—robots, gun, carnage! It’s a formula that’s made hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, but, unfortunately, EPOCH just fails as a game.

"EPOCH is packed with fluid action which has kept me coming back for more and includes an interesting story which doesn’t get in the way."

There are certain games that go through several variations over time and sometimes these aren't as good as the original, but then sometimes they are even better. I never got the chance to play Epoch in it’s original version because my mobile device at the time could barely support my email at that point. Now, Epoch has been re-released to Steam and enables players to choose between a keyboard and mouse setup or to use the option to plug in a controller if that is your preference.
