Console games ported to the PC

So I've had my Controller S modded to work on my PC for a while and other than Moto GP, I haven't found any real games to utilize the controller. Does anyone know of any good PC games that would work well on the controller? All the GTA games have issues with button configurations, which makes them unplayable.

I know a lot of things that were developed with consoles in mind, or that have been ported over later, work well with this.

I quite often use my PS2 > PC adaptor for things like Rayman 3, homebrew clones such as Neverball (which is very hard to control without an analog stick), and titles such as SEGA's PC ports of their arcade/console games (Sonic collections, Crazy Taxi, etc.).

A console controller is also a godsend for emulators; I use a Playstation emulator for my PSone games despite the fact that we have a PS2, because the PC has much better scaling/filtering.

I use it for emulators as well, but I need something fresh. Ys was great on the PC with the controller S, but you don't see many games of that calibur released on the PC now. Are there any Devil May Cry clones on the PC? I know Onimusha was ported to the PC, but I've already beaten it.

About the only thing I use a controller on my PC for is emulators, Beyond Good and Evil, and any adventure games that take place in the third perspective (example: Syberia, Grim Fandango, etc...)

[nods] I know some titles came to PC, like Tomb Raider and Metal Gear Solid and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. But generally, I do my gaming on consoles, and only resort to the PC when it's a game that's not available any other way (usually an RTS).

Those are three games I left out, except I prefer to play Tomb Raider with a keyboard. But MGS2:Substance and PoP:SoT are two excellent PC games that I couldn't imagine playing without a controller.

You could try out some Sega demos for the pc, majority of them were console games to begin with:
