I have the 360 adapter. I only use it for emulation of console games.

Then again my PC gaming is limited to Diablo 2, Warcraft 2 & 3, Starcraft and Age of Mythology.

I tried changing the control scheme and it's getting a little easier. I still don't like the mouse movement controlling the camera and being the way to turn corners on foot but I can't see an option to change that. I'd get an adapter but it wouldn't be for a while.

I really want Sims 3 and/or Spore but I'm put off by the DRM I think it's called. Apparantly, it's some software EA games put into your PC that you can't get rid of and it's supposed to monitor you. Plus the whole "You can only install this game X amount of times" thing.

Sims 3 is coming for the 360 soon so I'm hoping it's a near perfect port. I can dream.

Seeing my PC can handle GTA III on full settings without a hitch has made me want to install my other games. Sim City 3000, Populous: The Beginning, Black & White, Theme Hospital & Command & Conquer: Red Alert. RTS's all over the place.

I got Dues Ex with my first PC about 9 years ago. Stupid considering the PC it came with couldn't play the game. I'd give it a try now because I've heard good things but I've no clue where it went. I can't find my copy of the Lost Vikings, either.

Have you played the other console versions of The Sims? In all likelyhood, it will be nothing like the PC version.

Also, Sims 3 only has a disc-present check. It doesn't have the internet required/limited install thing that Spore did.

I couldn't imagine playing most of those with a controller.

But I do hate using wasd to move. More specifically, I hate pretty much any keyboard movement configuration. I could probably get used to it, but I have no interest in doing so.

Otherwise, I prefer k/m over controllers, but I don't bother with my PC for gaming much anyway, so me.
