Hello everyone.
 
I recently found my xbox 360 wired controller (well, the little wire part that comes loose from the main wire) but since owning an xbox 360 I have moved onto PC gaming 'cause it's just so much better for me as I use a PC for numerous other things. It's so much easier to have it all in one place. Anyway, the only thing I really miss from the Xbox 360 is 2.5D platformers like Shadow Complex and Dual Joystick Shooters. I know the PC has a few platformers so I guess I'm fine there, but I can't find ANY dual joystick shooters other than that small segment on Bionic Commando Rearmed.
 
Help me out, Giant Bomb.
 
Edit: On the giant bomb Dual Joystick Shooter page it has a few, but none of those really seem like what I'm looking for. I want one similar to Zombie Apocalypse, or so.

Geometry Wars is on Steam for a couple bucks, IMO one of the only games that were worth owning on XBLA.

I saw that, it's £3 which is an amazing deal, but I still don't know if it's what I'm looking for (I think I'll get it anyway though.)

Can I use my Xbox 360 controller with those games, do you know?
 
Some of my friends bought them before Zombie Shooter 2 was out, and they say they are "Alright." I'll probably buy Zombie Shooter 2, Alien Shooter 2 and Geometry Wars 2 though. Thanks for the help
 
Nation Red. Oh my god, can't believe I missed it.

There's also Everyday Shooter on Steam, which was a PSN title before it got brought to PC.

I'd recommend Trine, too. It's not a dual joystick shooter (it's a platformer) but it uses the analog sticks in interesting and intuitive ways.  
 
@PureRok:  Nah, a dual joystick shooter on the PC is where you plug in a gamepad and play using the analog sticks like on a console.
