Someone just gave me this Logitech Attack 3 joystick for my PC. It was still sealed in the box, never used. I don't think I own any games that would get good use out of it. Since I don't want to let it go to waste, does anyone have any suggestions for PC games that work well with joysticks?

Here is the joystick I'm talking about: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/gaming/joysticks/devices/302

Obviously aircraft sims, but there could be others. Not sure, myself.

Seconding this!

Mechwarrior 4 is freeware, too, so that helps.

Joysticks are so '90s... Any game where you need to fly can still benefit from a joystick. E.g. BFBC2 has heli's in it. But setting up the joystick is a pain in the ass for this game.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

I think that the Bad company 2 and BF3 helos are alot easier to fly with a joystick than with a mouse.

Dungeon Fighter Online. Classic beat-'em-up gameplay, mixed with a cool style, mixed with some MMO elements... and you got a fun as hell game.

Plus, the pay content (It's free to play but has a cash shop) is mostly just outfits (permanent ones that can be traded with other players anyways), and nifty boosts. Really nothing gameplay changing.
