There are a lot of games that would be better played using an actual joystick, heck, lots of them have virtual joysticks or virtual buttons. There are very few games that were really designed based on touch controls.

Not sure that is the case, pretty much every game I have installed on my android phone is designed specifically for touch controls, some of them would work OK on a mouse. Very few would be playable on a controller.

Regards joysticks, the only games that I can think of that would be better on a joystick would be flight simulators which probably partly explains the lack of "serious" flight sims available on consoles.

I meant controller when I said joystick, it is the common name where I live. The majority of games I have on my android have virtual buttons and virtual sticks, some are ports of older console games, like Max Payne, GTA 3 and sonic CD, some are those gameloft action games and some others are action games from EA and madfinger. I even use my PS3 controller and my device plugged on the tv to play better some of those games.
