Well microsoft is making it standard for the xbox 360 controller to work with all new games, I heard FEAR works, but not sure on all the others. Also 3rd party programs help make the mapping for controllers a lot easier, so google it.

Edit: All of those games are FPS's, why would you want to play them on a controller in the first place?

I just like the feel of the xbox 360 controller, I mostly play with a keyboard and mouse.

The feel of the controller has nothing to do with accuracy

A fair point, but the problem is you would never be able to match someone using a controller on a PC with good mouse skills in a FPS

Everyone has their own preferences and using a controller doesn't make a game less enjoyable or means that you "suck"

Lost Planet uses a controller well but it's not an FPS. Most FPS games are not optimized to make use of controllers.

LOL. No, it's doesn't mean you suck. But why would you want to handicap yourself? It's like going into a fight and tying your shoelaces together.

If a game is optimized to make use of one it makes little difference.

You can you a gamepad/controller with any game. Just get a third party application so you can set the controls. I use Pinnacle Game Profiler, and it works really well. I wouldn't use a controller to play FPS's though, unless we are talking about playing one like Halo 2 or Shadowrun, which has nerfed keyboard and mouse controls and auto aim for the controller.

yeah your right a keyboard+mouse are better than a controller anyway. I mostly play fps on my computer so i guess i'll just be using the controller for my 360 and not my pc.

LOL you will get owned in all of thos egames, especially STALKER. Besides, I am not sure wether aor not any of those support joysticks.

Why not use a mouse and keyboard? Its how FPS are meant to be played.
