As title, are there any games that allow mouse and keyboard for gameplay at all?

I hate using the control pad for FPS and it seems really daft that you can easily add a USB or Bluetooth mouse and keyboard but can't use them at all for games!

I really hope Sony and the game developers sort this out eventually as not only will it be a godsend to current PS3 owners coming from a PC gaming background but will also make it more tempting to new customers to have the option.

I know I'm not the only person who finds this annoying.
 
Just unreal 3.

If you don't enjoy using a control pad for FPS games on a console, don't buy FPS games on a console. Problem solved. ;)

I still don't think there's any need for M+K support on consoles. It's a good thing that it's not there.

True. Otherwise it would just end up being K+M vs joypad players. You'd have to filter games to which control scheme people are using. Its like playing SF4 with with a pad and having to fight someone with an arcade stick.

Yes but everyone would have the choice of using the K+M lol

In many space combat sims I've always used mouse and keyboard whereas most use joysticks, they always have the advantage with turns but K+M had better accuracy.

It would just be the same with K+M v control pads, some people can use the control pads really well for FPS, years ago when I had the original PSX it wasn't a problem as that was all I was playing but now as I play BF2 and various other FPS on the PC I can't get on with pads for that type of game.

I'd like to game more on the PS3 so I don't have to keep upgrading graphics cards etc all the time but as there is no real K+M support I'm limited on what I can play on it to mainly driving games etc

Hell, even if they make it so that K+M can be used in single player on PS3 I'd be happy!

Edit:
Fallout 3 I quite like on the PS3 as it has the V.A.T.S aiming system at least, are there other games that have something similar?

Not everyone wants to sit at a desk to play games on a console (and don't even try to claim you can sit in a sofa with a M+K comfortably).

I don't get people that say they can't use a pad for games. Plenty of people manage it. Just practice.

Your point is?

I said everyone would have the choice to use K+M or gamepad not that they would have to use or should use K+M, if you prefer using a gamepad for FPS that's good for you I however can't stand it and I know quite a few others who would love the option of K+M.

They should at least make the option available to those who want it.

What i wouldn't mind is if they added mouse + kb support to the single player part of the game. At least then those who can't/won't adapt can still play a portion of the game with their chosen input device.

As I said above as well, if it was just in single player I'd be happy.
