Hi, I don't know if it would be accessible with the games you mentioned, but I recently picked up an XBox 360 controller to play a heroes call with. Its a good controller, if you buy the wired Microsoft one and own a windows pc then you can just plug it in via USB and windows will automatically install the required drivers, although like I said I'm not sure whether it would work with the games you mentioned as I imagine that comes down to how the game was coded and its gamepad support, although note the wireless controllers need further hardware to communicate with your PC. The controller itself though has a left and right analogue stick , a standard four way directional pad, 4 main buttons , a further 4 trigger buttons and a start, select and XBox button so 11 in total. In a hero's call they utilise the analogue sticks as buttons too, so pressing in either the left or right sticks works as a further button, allowing for two more keys , also in a heroes call since the right analogue stick isn't used for movement they assigned up, down left and right to all perform different tasks too. But again I guess it comes down to the game coding as to whether the controller would work and whether it would allow you to customise each of these buttons, oh and although I can't say for certain, but I'm pretty sure all Microsoft Xbox controllers come with force feedback and I managed to buy my for about only £11.

Ron, You might try to contact AbleGamers regarding the handheld unit. They are very knowledgeable about these types of controllers and might have some suggestions.
