Best games to be played on TV with controller?

[chid76]

Sometime I just like to chill on the sofa and play a few games with an xbox controller. I never got into the whole xbox thing, so playing FPS games with a pad is a bit of a nightmare for me as I am so used to keyboard and mouse.
I'm playing stuff like Mark of the ninja, Rayman Legends and Trials Evolution but whats your pick of games to be played on a controller? And any suggestions as to what I should attack next?

trine 2

I have that, I may well give it a go

I have got way too many games from steam sales/humble bundles. Just need to make a start on them

 

[Omaeka]

State of Decay!

 

[Warbie]

South Park: The Stick of Truth
The Walking Dead 1 & 2
The Wolf Amoung Us

all work well

If you fancy something old school and arcady, Dust: An Elysian Tail is good fun. But most of all - Bastion!!!

I will add Bastion to my shortlist

I found tomb raider and hitman both very easy to play with a controller.

 

[Heisenberg]

Tomb Raider

 

[Efour]

GTA 4 and Saints row 3+4 i am ashamed to admit i played with a pad.

quite fun

I sat back in my chair and played Skyrim with a 360 controller...

Very relaxing.

+1

Also,

Sleeping Dogs
Max Payne 3
Resident Evil 5 (not played 4 or 6, but assume both will be similar)
Arkham series
Alan Wake
Dead Space series
Mafia 2

... to name but a few.

Pretty much any third person action/ shooter can be played quite comfortably with a controller.

anything that's not a FPS that requires mouse and keyboard really.

Batman... I'm Batman!

Sleeping Dogs
Max Payne 3
Resident Evil 5 (not played 4 or 6, but assume both will be similar)
Arkham series
Alan Wake
Dead Space series
Mafia 2

... to name but a few.

Pretty much any third person action/ shooter can be played quite comfortably with a controller.

All of these plus Fallout 3 + NV on a massive HDTV look amazong on PC with max details you can see the artwork/scope much more effectively.

Pretty much any PC game from 2007-8 onwards which supports a controller looks better on a massive HDTV TBH

Tomb Raider is a must, one of the best games from 2013.

 

[RoganTheGypo]

Risk of rain.

Dark souls (balls are a requirement).

Assasins creed - black flag. Perfect for a 360 controller.
