Fun PC games to play with a controller

[xaeniac]

I would like some to list pc games that are fun to play with a controller or that are just best suited for controller play.

A few that would be ideal for controller (that might or might not be good IMO) would be Prototype, Saints Row 2, GTA IV.

 

[Udgnim]

Dead Space

Batman: Arkham Aslyum

Devil May Cry 4 (think this game didn't even come with mouse/kb support)

 

[TheNiceGuy]

-That game with the 3 characters where you draw boxes and platforms in the air and work through simple puzzles.

-Shrek

-Street Fighter


I used an xbox controller.

Trine.

 

[Sho'Nuff]

The demo for Just Cause 2 was great with an xbox 360 controller on pc. First game where I was glad I had the controller and not a mouse/keyboard.

Practically all 3rd person games are better with a controller than a kbm.

This.

And essentially any game that was developed simultaneously for the Xbox360 usually has gamepad support built-in as well.

Any driving game if you don't have a wheel. All sports. Most fighting games. Any platformers like Prince of Persia (the old ones. New one's really not worth playing).

p.s. Mirror's Edge. A lot of people hated it but I love it, still fire it up every so often.

epsxe is my favorite >.> <.<

 

[Swivelguy2]

Breakout

 

[mmntech]

Pretty much any 360 port works well with a gamepad as long as they're not FPS.

 

[ZzZGuy]

Mechwarrior 4.

But you'll need a gamepad with a lot of buttons.

 

[xCxStylex]

The TF2/Tribes like FPS "Global Agenda" is also designed to be played with a 360 controller.

It's a fun game, but I'm a PC purist that can not play an fps on a controller.

 

[shortylickens]

Mechwarrior 4.

But you'll need a gamepad with a lot of buttons.

I used a gamepad for turning, movement, and most targeting functions, and the mouse for fine aiming and weapons fire and zooming. Works great. Better than the keyboard.

 

[TJCS]

GTA IV
Dirt 2
Burnout Paradise
Mass Effect 2

 

[Sureshot324]

Any racing game.
Console emulators

 

[ixelion]

Onimusha was ported to the PC, pretty fun and you need a gamepad for it.

Ninja Blade was descent considering there's no GoW on the PC.

 

[Childs]

I would think anything that isn't FPS would be fine, although there are some 3PS that would probably still be better with KBM.

 

[kalrith]

Any racing game.

 

[TheNiceGuy]

Assasin's Creed was reeally good too.

 

[Coldkilla]

GTA 4, (Driving ONLY, for racing etc).
Burnout Paradise
Dirt 2
Arma2, (after 2 hours of tweaking..)
Bad Company 2 Chopper Piloting (Took forever to find the 3rd party program that made it work decently). Forgot the name; I can check when I get home.

I've been playing Assassin's Creed with my 360 controller, it works very well. Also DiRT2.
