BEFORE YOU ANSWER, lemme explain a bit....
I'm an "old school gamer" I grew up with Pong, Atari, Intellavison, Nintendo and then Super Nintendo, And now I have a Wii.
I never really liked much other systems because as the controllers got more and more filled with buttons and I just got PISSED having to use like 5 buttons just to preform 1 action lol.
So when it comes to gaming the MORE simple the controls the better chance I will play it.
What game/s should I look into that had GREAT gameplay and even greater simple control functions?
Everyone talks about COD but how are the controls for that one?

Hi Loki,
Same here! I grew up with Pong, Intellivision and Atari too. I am the current owner of an Xbox 360.
By far the best game that I enjoy playing several times a week is Grand Theft Auto IV. Every button on the control does SOMETHING, but the game helps get you started by showing you what to do, and what to click or push and then after a few minutes, everything feels pretty natural.
Of course it's light years beyond Intellivision so you can't compare them, but what is nice is that the environment feels real. What you expect to happen, happens, and the interaction with the environment is just as much fun as the gameplay itself. I often find myself just exploring the world instead of playing the game.
If Photorealistic 3D immersive gaming isn't your thing, don't worry. Make sure you get your Xbox360 setup to be online, and you can download all kinds of things including 80's classics like Space Invaders, Asteroids, etc. Whenever I'm in the mood for nostalgia / retro or recapturing a little youth, I hit these games.
The Xbox360 is an amazing gaming system. You will love it.
