Maurice's review does not do the game justice at all. Classic case of blaming the game and not the player. The controls are perfectly fine once you learn to pay attention to the warp reticle.
Also, has a surprising amount of replay value. 3 or 4 different endings, many collectables, etc.

"But PC has always been known to have the better control schemes, so maybe this issue is not as bad or it's completely gone altogether. "
I love playing Super Meat Boy and all platformers with keyboard and mouse. Fucking blast that is. Anyways, pretty silly statement to me given many games, especially platformers, play better with a stick or dpad. Just like a FPS, MMO, or RTS will almost always control better on the PC. As for the game itself I need to pick it up as a lot of people had a better time than Maurice did. Will get on PSN as I don't really feel like using Origin.

And just to clarify you can obviously plug in a controller for many of these games(which I do) but it's still the console's control scheme.
(obligatory Origin bitching)
EA: "We are all about consumer choice, as long as they choose our platform."
I really don't think its the money for EA, its about control and having to play by someone else's rules, and EA is the only company I can think of that will make an entire platform from scratch just so they don't have to do what valve says. There is no point for this subpar service, and no point to have a client just for one publisher. Take your toys and leave the sandbox EA, no one will miss you.

No Steam PC release is a terrible idea for an indie dev. Poor guys probably have no choice, though. I'd like to see EA push indie games on Origin half as well as Valve does on Steam.
Went to go buy it on Steam before reading the article. Oh well. Guess you get no money EA. Good strategy you have there.
@Stinky: Who cares? PC is no longer a platform. It has become Steam's platform. A game coming out on PC without Steam (that is to say, in a competitive DRM service rather than direct from developers) is like making a game for an off-brand console that comes with games built in to it, when you should have made it for one of "the big 3".
