I just found my ancient Microsoft Sidewinder Gamepad USB. I plugged it into Win7 Pro x64 and it found the drivers immediately. Now, I need games to play with it. I do not usually game on PCs but so I do not know if there are games that work with a traditional gamepad. Any new or old games that would work with my system?

As for system specs:
i7-870
8GB memory
1GB Nvidia GTX 460

Abe's Odyssee?
There are a bunch of 2d games out there that would work with your gamepad.... just depends on you preference.

Braid and Trine would be my picks. Maybe even defence grid ($6 at D2D) would work wel with a Dpad.

Oh and emulators.

Does this gamepad have a joystick or shoulder buttons?

Mass Effect and Dead Space. They're not really "older" games, but the controls in each one just begged for a controller, IMO.

Other than that, Braid and especially Trine would be on the top of my list, like Scholzpdx said.
