Gaming controller?

[Skeeter]

So for example, the new Tomb Raider game which is not GFWL...

I would just plug Wired Xbox360 controller in and it would recognize it and I can just play?

Yep, shows the correct button icons and everything.

A fairly safe assumption is that if a game support controllers, it will support the Xbox controller.

Steam Big Picture mode is designed for it too.

If it supports a controller, it will support a X360 pad. Or you have some driver / USB issue.

If you have a wireless controller, you need a wireless receiver. Just go regular, a lot less hassle.

360 pad is awesome, I finished Far cry 3 and Tomb Raider this week with it. Most of games i used it with have the right button icons.
