That's easy. Gran Turismo and plenty of decent wheel choices.
So my money wasn't wasted. Prologue is still good fun and GT5 will land soon.
Also, I will play certain games with a gamepad if it makes sense (platform games for example). But even games that work well with gamepads like Street Fighter IV are more fun on a fighter game layout 6 to 8 button gamepad or joystick.
To me, it's like racquet sports. I like ping-pong, tennis, and racquet-ball - I wouldn't be enjoying any of those sports if there was only one racquet that was designed to play all 3 - it wouldn't be enjoyable at all. With PC gaming dying and consoles taking over - the closed console platform with licensing requirements really limits choices. Since it seems consoles will take over - I hope they mature a bit more and give gamers more choices like they had on the PC all along.
I wouldn't own a console at all if the PC game market was as healthy as it used to be - times change, but I shouldn't have accept something less sophisticated and lacking in depth - that's going backwards.
