Who the hell uses a keyboard for games in 2011, or 2001 for that matter? I can't even use a keyboard for the GTA (PC) series - I converted to a setup of PS2 style controller and mouse because keyboards simply suck ass when used as gaming devices (and the analog stick makes all the difference - compare riding a bike in Vice City or San Andreas; you can either tap the 'up' key 100 times a second so your character leans forward ever-so-slightly for maximum speed, or you can simply move the #1 analog stick to that perfect position whilst laughing at all the other ignorant 'PC-gamers' when they fail the unique jumps). Maybe these blog/magazine writers are still using 0.37 BETA 5 for DOS on their Pentium 2 400's in 256 color, 320x200 glory, but the rest of the world has moved on. Even Pac-Man needs better controls than a keyboard for efficient usage, and it doesn't even use buttons in-game (the only buttons being 1P and 2P start).
