I play SWBF1 & 2 with a gamepad, as this is how I first played them on consoles, and now PC. Are there any other simple FPS/TPS out there, that have good gamepad support???
Try looking through these.
Ones with partial, meaning in the menus you need a mouse and keyboard but once in game you can use your controller. http://store.steampowered.com/search/?sort_by=Metascore&sort_order=DESC&category1=998&category2=18&genre=Action (http://store.steampowered.com/search/?sort_by=Metascore&sort_order=DESC&category1=998&category2=18&genre=Action)
And ones with full controller support.

If you've never played Half Life 2 or Portal you should definitely download the demos and give them a crack.
