I've been mostly a keyboard & mouse person until today. Which games do you guys recommend I play with a controller?

I'm probably going to try They Bleed Pixels and Sonic Generations again, because I had quite a bad experience with them using K&M.

Edit: Thanks for all the great suggestions!

Lately I find myself avoiding games that I can't use a controller with. Big Picture has me in a warm blanket :(

Darksiders, 1 and 2. The controls were a little goofy for keyboard/mouse.

  1. Driving games (provided you don't have a wheel+pedals)
  2. Sports games in general.
  3. 3D platform/adventure games
  4. Action games that do not require precision in shooting (GTA and so)

Go to Big Picture Mode and there should be a section for controller enabled games.

I use a wired Xbox 360 controller sometimes, depending on what game. Open world/driving games like Grand Theft Auto and Saints Row, platform/action games like Super Meat Boy and Binding of Isaac, first-person shooter games like Left 4 Dead and Fallout. I would play computer games with a controller more if my right trigger button actually worked.

Edit: Castle Crashers, not sure how I could forget that one.

sleeping dogs

Batman Arkham City (I feel better with a controller I don't know why)

Super Meat Boy I ended up playing with one since the tutorial for the controls only told me the xbox ones and I find it a bit easy

Giana Sisters is a lot better with controller. I haven't even try without it. I do not dare to do so.

To people that say Dark Souls, DSfix laughs at you.
Seriously, I never played on controller for more than 15min at a time, so M&K is pretty much all I have learned to control with, not a single solitary problem with Dark Souls. May be better on gamepad for people that can play on gamepad, but unplayable on m&k? lolno.
Only game I had problems with is Renegade Ops since the car needs to go in more directions than 4 :D and because I don't play fighting or sports games there is not really anything else I have had problems with.

You have told it yourself already but, check the title "Games that are better played with a controller?". Of course you can play any game with Kb&M, but Dark Souls id definitely a game that is better played with a controller.

BTW, I completely beat Renegade Ops with a Kb&M and had no problem at all.

Sorry, but I have to back up BlueShark on this.
I tried to play Dark Souls with a controller. It's utterly uncomfortable. With K&M it is a way better(!) experience for me.

If you find controller uncomfortable when playing Dark Souls, you're definitely doing something wrong.

  1. I don't like controllers at all.
  2. I have 140 hours in game.
  3. " Dark Souls id definitely a game that is better played with a controller". It's an opinion, not a rule. I expressed my opinion on the matter. And you still think there are solid rules? :)

That's what I said with "May be better on gamepad for people that can play on gamepad, but unplayable on m&k lolno."
I was not clear enough, I admit that. I meant to say "To people that say Dark Souls is unplayable with m&k.

Renegade Ops might be just some personal issue, I usually find most of the games perfectly playable with m&k, but it just didn't play good at all for me.

Braid, Cthulhu Saves The World, Breath of Death, FF7, any of the Touhou games and I'd guess eXceed as well.

I'll have to give Darksiders a try with the gamepad...does it need X360CE or will it work without it?

NBA series, FIFA series, NFS series and stuff. I own X360 so I play games like this on PC from time to time.

For me Just about any platformer or bullet hell is easier with a controller. Outside of that it just really depends on the game.
