Default PC-Gamepad Games

Which Adventure Games for PC are better to play with a gamepad rather than keyboard/mouse?

I just read that 'The Longest Journey' was better to play with PS2 joystick so just wondering which other games are too!

I also can't picture playing 'Broken Sword 3' on PC as it felt like it was made for the PS2 for the joystick reason.

Grim Fandango, MI4, BS3 and 4, Dreamfall do play better when using a PS2 joystick.

Can't think of any other games at the moment...

The Longest Journey? I don't think so.

Fahrenheit is one, though.

Skip Dreamfall and play Psychonauts if you want to make the most of playing with a gamepad.

Dreamfall is great with a gamepad. Also Farehneit, Broken Sword 3, and really anything that uses direct control and has complicated keyboard controls.

I enjoyed playing Shadow of Destiny with a gamepad, but that's one I managed to play okay with the keyboard, too.
