yes, it's true keyboard/mouse control is an important advantage to a PC. But for me, it's also important to enjoy gaming from my sofa, playing HD quality games on my 60" HD set with surround sound cranked on, within a multiplayer environment that lets me see what my friends are doing and thus I can invite/join as necessary to get a game going in minutes. I also find for FPS games, developpers have hit a sweet spot that although the control scheme won't beat the accuracy of the PC setup, they certainly have made it extremely fun. I can appreciate those who just don't get fun out of playing it with a controller, to each is own, but I certainly am glad they haven't left FPS games to a keyboard/mouse combo.
What noone likes LEGO? Did I mentioned its made in Denmark
, that's the game I'm presently playing right now (Star Wars Lego: the complete series). I'm playing it with a buddy online via coop on the 360. Great game, but it's hardly a system seller though, which is why I didn't include it on the list. The bugger devs didn't include online coop with Indy though, which I don't doubt it's because they'll have another version for sale later with the online coop in (that's what they did with Star Wars Lego, combined both trilogy into 1 game with online coop - pretty good value).

totally agree. i grew up playing FPSs on keyboard/mouse like many others, but i truly feel they've got it pretty nailed down with the latest games (halo 3, cod4). it feels right with a controller and while you don't get the pixel-perfect accurary as keyboard/mouse, it is just as fun and natural. pc gamers shouldnt be so quick so rule out FPS gaming on consoles, it's come a long way, especially as you say when it's on a big HD set with surround sound.

MLB '08 The Show, GTA IV, and Ratchet and Clank are probably my 3 favorites I've got.
