PC games that support the 360 controller

I'm a living room gamer whose platform of choice is the PC. I believe the 360 controller is the finest games controller ever constructed and is the controller of choice for PC gaming.

Most new PC games support the 360 controller. A lot of older games and some new games don't support the controller out of the box - or even at all.

Here are some games that support the xbox controller:

Batman Arkham Asylum
Braid
Crysis
Gears of War
Lost Planet: extreme condition
Micro Machines V4
Pro Evolution Soccer 2009
Pro Evolution Soccer 2010
Prototype
Resident Evil 5
Star Wars The Force Unleashed
Tomb Raider Legend
Tomb Raider Underworld
TrackMania
Trine
Wolverine Unleashed

And some more games with 360 controller support.

Joe Danger

The 2010 Independent Games Festival Finalists have been announced. I had a look through the nominations for the coveted Seumas McNally Grand Prize. Previous winners include the excellent Crayon Physics Deluxe. Independent games are made by small teams of independent developers. Because of this a lot of independent games can lack in areas like graphics, sound and presentation - especially when compared against commercial offerings. However they almost always have a great gameplay element to them. Unfortunately that isn't always enough for casual gamers who can't look past such obvious flaws. So when an independent game does come along with great sound, graphics, presentation you have to sit up and take notice. From the leaked gameplay footage I've seen - Joe Danger ticks all of these boxes. It's set for release in the spring for PC/ xbox/ PSN and will support splitscreen multiplayer. I for one can not wait.
