The new brooks infinity is an excellent forefoot cushioned shoe.
its a stiff shoe, but the new balance 1062 has a good amount of forefoot cushioning as well.
Newtons
Adidas Supernova Control by far has the most forefoot cushioning in any shoe I've ever had (actually, almost too much).
I would also try going to a wider forefoot shoe (or up 1/2 size). I had chronic forefoot problems that I thought were due to lack of cushioning, but it was really caused by compression of a nerve by a too narrow toe box. Going from 9 to 9.5 solved the problem in a week or so. I always liked my shoes fairly tight, but I got used to the larger size pretty quickly.

Funny, I just made the same switch for the same reason. Also went from medial posted to non-posted and Asics to Saucony. Saucony fit is AWESOME!
Asics Gel Nimbus. I'm 42 and have 12 years of scoccer and other sports in my knees. This shoe helps me run pain free.
If you are a toe runner, the absolute hands down best shoe is the Adidas Classic. Unlike other shoe lines, the Classic has not been changed one bit (other than color) in over 7 years!! It's really built up in the front and you don't get that "dropoff" feeling when you push off with your toes. Also, the great thing about them is they're relatively cheap compared to other shoes people are mentioning.
Loco Carumba. Seriously.
