Chris Buffa (Modojo): One Epic Game originally debuted on PSP in 2011 under the PlayStation Minis category. Then Chillingo realized it could fit on iOS, and thus, an iPhone port was born.
What's good for PSP owners, however, isn't necessarily cool for iPhone users, largely because the "running" genre (if you can call it that) has quite a few top tier competitors that dominate the category, including Monster Dash and Jetpack Joyride.

Triverse writes, "Hmm, what are some of the biggest cliches in gaming going today? Alien invasions? World War II? Zombies? Yeah, those are a start and the basis of One Epic Game by Grip Games. OEG is a runner game, there we said it early so anyone not into those types of games can stop reading right now."
Rather than attempt to shackle the simple, arcade action with a boorish plot about a brave soldier saving the Earth, One Epic Game (OEG) instead pokes fun at all the biggest and (crucially) the most overdone genres and settings in gaming. So you’ll be leading main character Alpha Dog (even his name is a jibe) through a zombie outbreak, a post-apocalyptic wasteland, World War 2, an alien invasion and a fantasy world.
The funny thing is there’s actually very little in the way of plot, but that’s kind of the point. It makes a statement about the often scattered and pointless nature of action game plot-lines, and things just happen. There’s usually a self-aware and hilarious reason given, but it’s no more believable than ‘we just wanted a change of scenery’, and it’s kind of not supposed to be. It’s hard to explain; it needs to be experienced.
