For some games it can be...depends on it's controls though. The only game I use my gamepad for is MVP Baseball 2003...If I was motivated enough, I'd play FPS games with an xbox controller.

For all FPS a mouse and keyboard it the best. For racing games the like. A gamepad can be better because you can steer in "little" increments. Games that were ported from the console like NBA games play AWSOME with a gamepad.

I use keyboard for Vice City..never played it with my gamepad.

For "first person shooters" it by far the best to use the mouse/keyboard combo. By far!!!

As for the other type games...don't know, don't play 'em.

eww xbox trollers are fat. lol so its like half for gamepad and half for keyboard and mouse

hmmm...well I bounce back and forth depending upon the game. gta games I use a gamepad (logitech wingman rumblepad to be exact), but use mouse and gamepad for precision sniping.

moa- mainly keys/mouse, but possibly gamepad/mouse (shahani shared that recipe a long while back and I kind of like it)

driving and sports games I like a gamepad. It's hard for me to really feel the excitement with a keyboard, but as games get more complex I've just had to adapt.
I think you'll find most people here use keys/mouse combo most though.

ya thats what i thought, seems better in most cases, and a gamepad and mouse seems hardto use,

Fat? they're for real gamers, not little kids...that's a first for a game console.

I'm far better at console FPS games than PC...it's much simpler on a gamepad.

well what i mean is, its to big, i like the pads that arre around ps2 sizes,

Having started gaming on Nintendo I find the gamepad (M$ Sidewinder) to be the easiest for fighting,driving,and flying.Shooter games with a mouse+keyboard,and all others BORING!
