Using an xbox controller to navigate metro

[rare]

As per title really, anyone know if it can be done? I'm shocked Microsoft didn't think of this in the first place, being able to load a game, turn off the pc etc would be really useful as I play a lot of games through the tv.

Pretty sure I used Xpadder or ControlMK to control media centre with a joypad.
Guess it should still work because I think it emulated keyboard keys.
