Awesome. I don't care remotely about the mouse+keyboard > controller+auto aim arguments but finally someone is putting this back into games. Hopefully we will see this applied in more than just FPS multiplayer. I think there are numerous opportunities for this is games especially when companies are looking at more co-op games (Army of Two) where you are playing with a friend, rather than against. Plus there isn't really any reason you can't or shouldn't be able to do this with other styles of games as well RPG, etc..

Basically, my argument is that for games where you and a friend are on a team, this should have been implemented way earlier because its friendly competition and no one really cares about the control scheme of the other, for the competition of where its one versus the other I say meh.

Oh, plus I want to play with/against my friend because whenever I play on his 360 with a controller, I suck. Horribly...
