At the time the left grip + analog stick was how I played shooters.

Moving with my left hand and aiming with my right made sense to me coming from a mouse/keyboard.

How many shooters were there for the platform? There was Goldeneye, Doom64, and...?

Sure they made it work, but...adding the analog stick to the controller was pure innovation at the time, sure. But the vision for implementation was so fundamentally flawed that a bodge job from Sony bolting two analog sticks to their existing controller was 90 times better.

Doom, quake, turok, goldeneye, perfect dark, duke nukem, Hexen, dark forces and others that used “fps” style movement.
