Some guy at EB Games told me it was for use with a pc too, through USB. Does the controller work for some games, if so which ones (or kinds), or all games? I would want to return it if it only worked on a few games. I wanted to use it for some FPS games, like HL2 or FEAR, or some action/adventure rpg's, like Oblivion.

I know it IS possible to get the USB xbox360 controller working on your pc, as far as drivers and support, i'm not so sure. I'm speaking from experience of a buddy i have that wrote his own linux drivers for his.
EDIT -
According to microsoft, they are windows capable.

No, I heard it's just a good controller. There's an MS driver download for it, and it plugs right into usb. not sure if I like it yet though. I tried it with FEAR, but there aren't enough buttons, you have to still use the keyboard for some things, plus I think my mouse aims way better. I bet it would be good for a racing, or platform game. _________________ Lian Li PC-6077B

Yeah I don't think I'd prefer any kind of console/regular gamepad like that as opposed to a mouse for first person shooters. Its just a lot easier to point and click to aim. I'm guessing it'll be really nice/fun for a lot of arcade type games that you might have on your computer, as well as the racing option you said. What comes to mind if i were using a gamepad like that would be emulated NES/Genesis/Other console games.
Boot up thats old school super mario bros. _________________ ABAP? What did you call me? |
