What a great series Halo is.  I just finished up Halo 3.  I love the background story that follows the action and number three did exactly what it set out to do; finish the story and provide a suitable ending.  Now although I loved the ending, the enemies, level design, music and pretty much everything about Halo 3 there is one major problem with it.  YOU HAVE TO PLAY WITH A FRICKEN GAMEPAD!!!!

Seriously that was a painful experience at times.  I just simply cannot see how people play FPS games on a console.  The sad thing is today’s consoles can support a keyboard and mouse but for some reason Sony and Microsoft choose not to.  Both the PS3 and Xbox 360 have built in USB ports, why not use them?  I wish I understood why Sony and Microsoft won’t support a keyboard and mouse, at least for the shooters.  There are absolutely zero advantages to playing with a gamepad (And no I’m not counting being able to sit back lazily into a chair as a benefit for a gamepad).

Come on Microsoft and Sony!  Start supporting the peripherals that REAL gamers like to use.
