best game to use a joystick with?

hi,

i got my hands on a joystick a while ago, not really got any decent games for it. Any recommendations? I am thinking of a flight game, as obviously this is what they are for. it looks like MS flight simulator is the flight game, but looks a bit boring. prefer one with guns...

mm.. i think there's a game out there where youre in a mechanoid suit and you can use a joystick on it.

Not sure of the actual game. I can google later but busy at the mo.

Freespace 2

It's a space combat flight sim but it's about the most fun you can have with your joystick...

So to speak.

Flight Simulator X

My friend used to play this game all the time, you're going to need a pretty good system to play it on high settings though.
