Aiming sucks on the playstation controllers. You can take a PS2 controller and I'll take keyboard/mouse and pwn your ass.

Perhaps you haven't been reading, Mr. Obvious... ::) I said that keyboard/mouse is better for fps' and easier for shooters in general. PlayStation controllers work better for driving games (like Driver or GTA) where you need to drive and shoot (and the combat isn't very intense). Anyway, aiming with a PlayStation controller isn't very difficult for a gamer. I have no problem playing SOCOM: US Navy Seals or Rainbow Six: Vegas with a controller. It's just [obviously] not as easy as point-and-shoot (mouse).

Of course somebody with a mouse is going to aim faster than with a controller. I don't think anybody's debating that. The debate is about which of the Wiimote and PlayStation controller is better for a shooter.

Is a Wii controller really comfortable for aiming?
I'm not sure how you use one for aiming (I don't even know anyone that owns a Wii), so my best assumption would be using it in a similar way to "laser guns" in arcades.
If that is really true, then I would guess it is worse than using a mouse, since a mouse gives you the benefit of a steadier hand.
Then again, that benefit stands even if you don't use the Wii controller in that manner, any amount of pointing or waving around is bound to be less steady than a mouse.

Of course, I'm arguing without any solid facts, so feel free to correct me.

Mouse is still the best for speed an accuracy in FPSs. But the Wii is more fun to use. If you're in it to win it, stick with the mouse. But if you're just here to have fun, go with the Wii. That's my opinion.

Incidentally, I recently found out that Valve has suddenly turned on a region locking feature for The Orange Box on Steam. That's a real pain in the arse for a lot of people. A friend of mine recently bought The Orange Box from a local game store, he couldn't play it because it said it was a Russian version or something. He asked the game store about it -- reply attached.

I bought my copy of The Orange Box from the same store. I tried it last night and it was still letting me play, so I guess I'm safe.

Well, I am sure lots of people here pirate games and/or music. Yves just has the nerve to admit it and even brag with it. :P
