    Maybe it's just my more than a decade long experience with the PC FPS, but I don't have that problem. In fact, I find it easier than on a console since I can move, aim, and shoot, while still reaching almost any other control in the game. The only thing that annoys me more than shoddy aiming in a console FPS is the tendency for developers to put vital functions, including attacks, on the face buttons or d-pad, requiring me to either stop aiming, or moving to press them. This is death in just about any FPS.

    EDIT: I realize most on here don't have a PS3, however I think this article is worth mentioning within the context of this thread. I'm not normally one for bothering with third party controllers, particularly specialized ones like this, but this may be just what my console loving self has been looking for all these years for enjoying console FPS games. If it's half as good as it sounds it'll be worth the purchase for me.
