I’ve been playing video games for a long time now, and although popular opinion is that people should grow up and move on to more “adult” things, it’s now my job to talk about and review these things so I don’t feel so bad. But in the course of doing my job, I’ve found that some games just don’t work on certain devices.

For example, take most console games — those designed for use with a controller while you sit cross legged in front of a TV — and port them to the iPhone. It just doesn’t work every time, and sometimes it’s more frustrating than not.

So this is my little piece about all that. It’s just a small portion of my editor’s duties over at iPhone.AppStorm.net, and I love it there.
