I'm going to start Bioshock soon and the instructions say I can use my xbox 360 controller or Keyboard and Mouse. Which controls are more fun for Bioshock in your opinion?

It's a FPS, kb/mouse all the way to pwn. If you want to be lazy or chill on the couch, gamepad.

I hate keyboard and mouse for FPS games so I say gamepad

Really if you're asking you're pretty much going to be a gamepad person I think

I always go with the keyboard and mouse, but if you're used to the gamepad go with it instead

It's a matter of preference. Try both and see which one you prefer. Keep in mind that there are some problems with the 360 controller in the game (like hacking with the controller). Also, you'll (probably) be faster with more precision using the mouse.

I think the control scheme better fits for the 360 controller on this game.

What is this I don't even...

Yeah man I hate speed, precision, and versatility too. I think i'll go use a hockey stick to play some golf.

No, Bioshock 2 doesn't support the Xbox 360 controller (even though it's a Games for Windows LIVE title).

I ended up using a controller for this game., but I don't think it matters anyway. The game does blow, so I'd recommend skipping it.

How about ignore what everyone says and try both of them, then stick to whichever you're most comfortable with.

Keyboard and Mouse is the objectively superior control scheme for first person shooters. Which you prefer is an entirely different question.
