Not at all! It's better than most PC exclusive controllers, plus it's not that expensive (you can get wired controller for 30 bucks or so), plus if you ever were to get a 360 you'd have one extra controller available already. But if you don't play games that require a controller for better game play, it's kind of waste of money for you then.

Don't you have a £200 computer keyboard as well. I seem to remember you posting your setup a while ago and it had a satellite uplink and massage setting too.

don't hate on the man

360 controllers are the best controllers for PC unless you play fighting games on stuff like 2df, thankfully I have my old saitek for that incase I need it

but yeah 360 controller on PC is amazing, and most recent PC games (or semi recent) have preset configs for it that oftentimes end up exactly like their console counterparts (if they exist)

they're not that expensive (wired ones), infact they are as expensive as regular pc controllers

and so much superior

okay i beat him by slapping it onto easy mode. now i die in SIX hits instead of 3.

this really threw me off the game. I got riddick for 360 and it came with the first one for original and assault on dark athena. Since I didn't beat the first one for xbox (got to the prison where you gotta fight in the ring and then somehow gradually end up escaping), i decided to play it first and oh man, some parts piss the shit out of me. Setting to easy really helps.

yeah i have one, before i had a 360

and my favorite thing, i bought fallout 3 for PC and when i plugged in my controller it changed all the keyboard buttons to their 360 ones, so it said "RPESS A TO DO THIS PRESS LB TO DO THIS" was so cool

Yeah agree 100% - 360 controller on PC is the greatest thing to happen in the PC controller scene. Console controllers have always had such an advantage as far as quality, comfort, and durability go - now the 360 controller is USB and can virtually be plugged in and played in many games just like it does on the 360.

I just picked up Killing Floor as well. Here's to hoping it plays as well as it looks!

If no one has picked up Braid yet, I beat it yesterday and can confirm how great it is. 2.49 is a pretty good price for this game, although it's pretty short but if you're into speed running then the levels have challenge times to keep you entertained. It's one of the best platformer/puzzle hybrid games i've ever played.

EDIT: If anyone wants a guest pass(which allows you to play a trial version of Killing Floor) then IM me. I've got two, so the first two who IM me with their e-mail associated with Steam gets one.

Did you mean still wrapped or that you have unwrapped it?

I'm just about to buy Killing Floor, Torchlight and Far Cry 2: Fortune's Edition.

Have decided against buying Fallout 3 GOTY for the moment, as I need to save some cash for uni before my course starts in Feb.
