Yeah I really want to play some PC shooters that support this sweet 360 controller I bought for it. Any suggestions? Bioshock supported it very nicely and I've played that, but other than that I cant seem to find many.

Thanks for any replies

I'm pretty sure you can play any PC game with a controller using the right tools. Not every game with have autoaim with the controller though - but regardless shooters have autoaim options regardless.

Right tools? What do you mean? Cuz I just go to the control options in the game and try to bind things to the controller (Or in bioshocks case, just select the play with xbox controller option)

If a game doesn't support a controller, you can just emulate the mouse and keyboard using Xpadder. It's pretty simple to use. But most games support controllers. Orange Box will support controllers so you can give that a try.

I meant like, the game can detect the axises and buttons on the controller without any other programs. Rainbow six vegas cant do that, it detects the buttons but not any axises

Although there are a few FPS that DO support controller play (configuration within the setup of the game), you're going to find that most of the sports games support it. I find it that I wouldn't play an FPS, supported or not, with a controller. You have more control, faster reflex times, and can remap everything in the game to the keyboard giving you a quick access to all your actions.

Better refelxes in your opinion, as for me, I CAN'T play Crysis on Beginner....I need a controller, or a keyboard with larger, more sparse keys.

I'd prefer a controller.

You're going to find that that is NOT the general opinion. I play most shooters fine on normal/hard difficulty. My friends have the same problems playing PC shooters, but they were all raised solely on consoles, which explains the issue.
