  its like asking "how to eat an apple"
  
  answers are:-
  open your mouth eat it
  open your ar se and chew on it
  open his/ or her mouth and ask him/ her to eat it
  swallow it
  slice it up and eat it
  feed it to the monkeys
  feed it to the lions
  squash it in a mixer and drink the juice
  
  a couple of mainstream ways to play FPS
  get some dedicated game console (PS2, xBox etx)..c.can be connected to TV and played with game consoleor jogstick etc. The whole concept of game console is dedication to games along and prices are made affordable with better graphics quality and frames as compared to a smilar game played over the PC.
  
  The PC on the other hand is more complicated. It can handle games and do more other type of work. The options on what a PC can offer and do are greater as compared to game consoles. High ended PC set ups can even rival the quality and reliability of game console set ups.
  
  however, if you just want to play FPS games from your PC but instead of the user interface being a mouse, you can use a joystick or game pad and connect it to the GAME/ MIDI port at the rear or front of your PC. check your PC config for the presence of this connection if yr a OEM computer. If no, or if yr PC's DIY type, can get this game/midi port expanded via a rear PCI bracket or front bezel connection...provided your PC motherboard has the GAME/ Midi headers

  go check it yourself...but AFAIK...many RPG, 3D and 3rd person perspective games (e.g LOTR) are popular releases with game consoles as such. One game i know of in the first person shooter perspective and played like a PC game is titled "Black". Amazing graphics and sounds. But i have not played it and wonder if the feel will be like that played from a PC.
  
  You can go over to the shops and see how players go about with such game consoles and the game titles they put up or do a search over the internet.
  
  For me i am addicted to FPS played from the PC...no other nonsense.

  The only FPS Game which worked well on console was Halo.
  Playing FPS on console is bad experience.

  On PC better, cuz you can aim better with the mouse. But on a console controller, you have no choice but to use the analog stick to aim, pretty challenging i'd say...

  I've tried playing this game called Deus Ex: Invisible Wars on Xbox before. It was really hard to aim alright. Wasted quite a bit of ammo, which is something of a precious commodity in that game. But I suppose with practice you can aim just as well as if you were using a mouse to play on PC. But I still think the gaming console is more suited to 3rd person view RPGs. Just look at the success of the Final Fantasy series.
