Games that are better played with a controller?

Didn't tried any of these on console version (psst dont have a console), but GTA 4 was all-round "horrible" haha
Anyways, the advantage on PC is that if control wasn't good you can always tweak it (handling file) and also further improve with MODS. Getting on topic now: Just remembered Saint's Row The Third, bikes! man it was an ordeal those first tryouts, at least on KB couldn't handle it on the corners! Never got to fix it so...
Something similar hapened on Sleeping Dogs, but once confortable it was easy to control bikes properly.

GTA4 i thought was perfect on KB&M

I've really been taking advantage of Steam's "Big Picture" mode since I moved (this might have to do with the fact that my gaming PC and largest TV are in different rooms or maybe because I like to game at odd hours when, my now live-in girlfriend, likes to sleep down the hall from where the PCs are located) but the reason is moot =p.

In terms of games, I checked out your profile and filtered the games that we both had so I could make personal recommendations. If you are using a wired-X360 controller (my controller of choice for when I need one and am at my computer, however for Big Picture mode I'm using a long-range Bluetooth adapter/MotionJoy [so I can use an extra PS3 controller as an Xbox controller] and an HDMI-over-ethernet connection from my PC to TV which was fairly cheap for the transmitter/receiver pair). I'm not sure what games you are sick of yet, however out of the ones you have, the following I consider much better via controller (in no particular order and of course this is just my personal preference/opinion).

• Beat Hazard (let me know if you need/want the "Ultra" DLC)
• Bastion
• Alan Wake series (some might disagree)
• Costume Quest
• Awesomenauts
• Portal 2 (personal preference?)
• Psychonauts

Pretty much a good rule of thumb is, if the game advertises "Full Controller Support", you will likely have a good time with a controller. Even some games that say "Partial" are awesome (for example I just finished a single-player run through of SRTT today and it's listed as "Partial Controller Support", which I think is just due to the fact that you have to pick which version of DirectX you want to use when you boot it up as everything in-game is perfect), with that being said SRTT could arguably be said to be played more accurately with mouse/kb (although there is rarely a need for "precision" in SR titles =p). Some games (TF2 for example) I wouldn't dream of ever playing without a kb/mouse, which is why it hasn't been getting as much of my love lately.

Also I didn't see a lot of titles like this in your collection, but driving and SHUMPs are always auto-controller picks for me. As for Audiosurf, which has been brought up a few times, when you get into the different ships and need twitch-reflect timing, a kb/mouse setup is a must.

You might be right about Sleeping Dogs, I do not remember there being many gun fights. Maybe I should get some DLCs for it and try it out.

Agreed! that's a good point :)

Personally I just swap back and forth in open world games. KB&M for on foot/shooting and gamepad for driving

So you'd play a strategy game like XCOM with controller over KB&M?

... if you want a fighting game that's only guaranteed to work in single player mode. If you don't care, go for it. I got it too /shrug

Aaaaaaand you're objectively wrong. Just because you don't like something it doesn't make it "not worth playing". I enjoy racing games leaning to the simulator side and they're pretty much uncontrollable with digital steering. You need the fine control of a stick or a wheel to not go into uncontrollable drift on every high speed turn.
