Recommend me some joystick games!

Post by RyaNtheSlayA »

So I ordered my first joystick in a good 8 years today. Just a simple Logitech 3D Pro joystick and I'm looking for some awesome games to use it with.

I have X-Wing vs Tie, Combat Flight Simulator 3, and Descent on the way. Been thinking about ordering Mech Warrior 2 as well since I'm told that plays pretty well with keyboard + joystick.

So any good recommendations for joystick compatible games? I'd imagine I can use this stick with the PS3 as well since it's USB, but I'm not so sure any game supports it.
I'm still not sure whether I'm a kid or a squid now.

The follow-up to Starlancer, Freelancer, has a bit of a following as well.

There's also the X series if you want space combat.

Mech Warrior 4 is free via Mektek.
Also Dogfighter is like Propeller Arena but on Steam.

Space Harrier. If you haven't played with a stick, you don't know what you are missing because it's amazing, specially once you start knowing how to play and your arm is going to fall off by how fast you are moving.

If you like Descent, I'd recommend Terminal Velocity (DOS game) or Fury3 (Windows version). There's another sequel called Hellbender, which was pretty good too.

I thought Freelancer was primarily a mouse-controlled space shooter?

Actually, yeah, it's pretty much made for that. Good game for the genre, but not for a joystick.
