Half-Life (and Team Fortress & Counterstrike mods)
No One Lives Forever
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Deus Ex
Ghost Recon
America's Army
GTA3 and Vice City
If you're looking for an all-sniper game, there was this one but it got lousy reviews...

What's so funny.
Sounds cool, i should get one... :D [/b][/quote]
I bought it because I wanted a controller to play the game on the computer and I like that one, and there is nothing wrong with it. They have one for PS2 it originally came out for that u can just look at it and see that. It sound like u are being sarcastic though, I don't know.
A real computer gamer uses the keyboard. :lol: j/k
Sanwa supply make pretty good arcade style sticks, I have 2 hooked up to my mame box. Never had a problem
I have a microsoft force feedback sidewinder pro. This is the orginal one and i picked it up 4 years ago for 50 bucks. It is still a great joystick espetialy for flight simulators. For firs person shooters I have been meaning to get a pad, but the joystick and keyboard do very good job. One note is joysticks take up a signfigant amount of room on your desk so make sure you have the space.
woohoo! Breaking 300 posts! :D
I've never been a fan of the feedback controllers, but I know that a lot of peeps like them. I'd prolly turn the feedback off, if I got one that had it. Wireless sounds interesting, but my wallet screams in pain, when I see the pricetag on them.
I can remember some particular intense street-fighter type games where sweaty hands started to become a problem, back on the ol' ps1. so the fans could be an interesting addition to a controller. Heh, I also remember a couple of times that the controller got yanked outta my hands by a sore loser, HAHA.
Afraid that I cant read that article. it just comes up with an advert page, but thanks. I've got another thread where I'm asking about sniper games, but extra input is always good.
desktop space may, or may not be an issue. It all just depends. But yeah, seeing how big the footprint on the joysticks are, I can already tell that they're gonna take up some room. A controller that I can just toss into a drawer could be a good thing.
Just curious- I've never used a controller with the comp before, can you just leave them in, when you arent playing, and still be able to use the board, and mouse? or will they disable those?
Also, if I should get one that's usb...will a usb hub power them? I've tried using my hub with my scanner, my UPS, my external hdd, digital camera, and webcam. the hub gave me messages saying that it didnt have sufficient power for either of the cams...even tho one of them was plugged into the wall.
Yes, my controller is just plugged in it has been for about a week or so but it has nothing to do with the keyboard and stuff it's just hardware.
As long as the hub is pwered you should be fine (had a power adapter on it.)Quote:
