>But, think of it as a supplemental device and not a replacement.
Mark of the Ninja I played with a x360 controller with good success.
Mirror's Edge....I can't recall if I used it with this title or not.
I used it with great success with the Resident Evil HD that came out
recently
Oh! Definitely use a controller for adventure games such as Broken Sword
and Grim Fandango: Much superior to crouching over a keyboard in these
slow-moving games.
It would likely be a good choice for Beyond Good and Evil and other such
console ports.
But I've tried it with NFS Shift, and have decided a controller is just an
exercise in frustration in simdriving -- you need a wheel & pedals. I
suspect this is also the case with space games.
