    I'm sure they will add Cod4. its doing to well for the PS3 to ignore, perhaps afterwords or something.

    Rumble = "the gimmick that everyone didn't know they couldn't live without till it was gone (and the "other guys" had it). 

    The ONLY games I ever felt NEEDED rumble were baseball games, because when the pitching cursor moved out of the strike zone (and disappeared) it was the only indication of how far out of the zone you were.  Having said that, I'm pleased to see MLB The show 08 on this list.

    I'm pretty sure that this wont be the only games that will be compatible with the Dualshock 3 and this list will grow. I mean, Killzone 2 and Resistance 2 should support Rumble... I guess. And Metal Gear Solid 4 wasn't on this list and we already know that it will support Rumble. This list is just a small list of "current" games and PS3 exclusives that support Rumble.

    Dont worry guys, COD4 already supports dual shock. Bought mine off ebay last year for less than a sixaxis on the high street.

    Army of Two is new so thats why its probably not on the list.   But they did forget PS2 games.  Besiedes I wont be buying one Rumble is terrible when it comes to FPS, its only good in racing games.

    When the 360 controller rumbles you can hear the conroller creaking, it sounds really bad, i think sony were right about rumble being a last gen feature, i sure dont miss it. When i hit a wall in a racing game and the camera shakes i dont need the conroller to vibrate, i can work it out myself lol. I bet you that rumble will be gone by PS4.

    No its true.. COD4 does not support rumble.. I have a DS3 from Hong Kong and it doesn't shake :( But glad to hear that Dark Sector does - because im getting it on release day ( 4/4 in Europe )

    Some of the richer people in this world ( like ME ) , imported a dual shock 3 controller from japan and most games have rumble support, including GT5 Prologue, there was a list on the  WWW.Play-asia.com website when i bought itand it's more comprehensive than this. Warhawk v1.2 and above supports rumble. Come on guys get with the program!!!!!!!!

    Yea man what about NBA 2K8? I can't wait til they release the rumble patch for that. But I guess 2k has their hands full what with getting gobbled up by EA.

    I'm sure the list is much larger than this.  Either way I need to pick a DS3 up and see if they are actually better than the Sixaxis analogs.  I sure hope so.
