    Perhaps Valve should have used an analog stick on the left and this new touch thing on the right, since by all accounts the camera controls pretty well with this new thing (maybe not as nice as a mouse though). Frankly though, I've played plenty of FPS on consoles that control well enough to be enjoyable with dual sticks. Good as a mouse? Maybe not, but they work surprisingly well. Not all console FPSs use "auto aim", and I've actually turned it off in a few.

    Anyway, as an example of a game that needs a special controller, Pong still works best with the "Pong" controllers. You know, the one with a large "dial" you spin around? Marble Madness had a unique track ball which is unrivaled for controlling Marble Madness. (A few years ago I got a shot at the arcade version, and wow did my game dramatically improve on it.)
    "On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
