Good PC games to play with pad??

Chris [BEANS] · 3 Feb 2013 at 19:03

Yo!

I've got a long HDMI cable and wireless 360 pad due to be delivered tomorrow, so I'll be able to do some leisurely gaming from the sofa

PC's pretty good (i5 3570k @ 3.8 Ghz, 8 gig of 1666 mhz and a GTX670 EX OC) so anything I can ramp up the graphics on is a bonus too.

Only thing I know that's pad compatible that I'm not too interested in is Skyrim, and I've already got GTA IV + add ons. Any other suggestions would be great, cheers

Check out the games in the Steam Big Picture section

The Batman games Arkham Asylum/Arkham City, any sports games and arcade racers ala Dirt/Need for Speed series.

Batman and just cause 2 are my favourite pad games. Any driving game will also work well.

Dark Souls.

Hitman Absolution is sublime on the pad, will never go back to keyboard controls again.

He's already a master at this judging by the scores I keep getting pinged up when I'm playing it!

Bit of a perfectionist with Hitman games. Which is fine, except now I've hit a point in the game I can't do perfectly.
Rather than take that on the chin and just kill the guy who's in my way, I keep trying over and over until I get bored and stop playing!!

Perhaps relaxing on the sofa with a pad will revitalise my interest

And as for the games mentioned above, I think I'll give Sleeping Dogs a go, and what do you guys think the best AC is? The latest one?

FIFA 13.

Will do tomorrow dude for sure.
Funnily enough, I'm looking for some regular SF IV games too. Know anyone who plays??

pretty much any game which isn't an fps or mmorpg or point and click adventure/strategy, actually even point and click adventure games work quite well with a gamepad on your tv - played through most of the golden age adventure games that way lol.
