   The dual analog sticks for Doom, at least, aren't too terrible just   
   because there's no looking up or down. With that said, I too prefer it   
   on the keyboard. I played through Ult. Doom, Doom II and Final Doom via   
   the Doomsday mod using the mouse/keyboard config. Was really great.

   Go for the puzzle games, women *love* puzzle games.
