So I got an iShock and have installed the proper OS X drivers. Are there any OS X games which take advantage of this gamepad?

I think some of the emulators do, and as I recall reading in games any game that supports the HUD should work.

Dont' quote me I hope this is correct. And if I am correct how do you like the iShock?

hold on a sec...there are specific OS X drivers for the iShock? do these drivers work with both the iShock and iShock 2?

So far none of my games give the force feedback response, so for now it is no better / worse than any other gamepad.

darn.

well how is it as a gamepad? Feel good, does it slip, feel cheap or anything?

And Force feedback == rumbeling right?

Well, the gamepad itself is very nice. Good feel, no real slippage and does not feel cheap.

The problem is I can't find any game which supports the Force Feedback / rumbling.
