Shadow of the Colossus

[A Black Falcon]

Yeah, there are some FPS that don't work so well with a controller. The majority of them, however, are more than adequate adaptations. Doom 3, Half-Life 2, Halo, F.E.A.R, Far Cry, and Timesplitters are examples of FPS that work wonderfully with a controller. I don't debate that a Mouse +KB provides faster, more accurate control though.

I can't understand why anyone would ever prefer a gamepad to a mouse and keyboard for FPSes... the difference is so huge...

Or that you played one or two dual-analog FPS's and found the controls difficult and just quit right there instead of sticking with it.

While certainly true, why, exactly, should I spend that time when it's a genre that I only play infrequently (either on PC or console -- I buy maybe one FPS a year, and that's probably an over-estimation...), the PC controls are so vastly superior, and almost all of the FPSes actually worth buying are on PC anyway?

My most recent FPS purchase was Turok: Rage Wars for N64 earlier this year, which I found simple but fun enough to be worth the $3 or whatever... like PD though I almost certainly wouldn't like it as much if it was dual analog...
