Default Game Controller
I have the following games in my entire adventure collection:

And Then There Was None
Art of Murder I & II
Broken Sword Death of Angel
Chronicle of Mystery
Curse - The eye of Isis
Dark Fall Lost Souls
Dead Reefs
Dracula Origin
Dracula 3
DreamFall The Longest Journey
Fahrenheit
Keepsake
Moment of silence
Murder in the Abbey
NiBiRu
Paradise
Post Mortem
Runaway A Twist of Fate
Secret Files I & II
Sherlock Holmes The Awakened
Still Life I & II
Syberia I & II
the Black Mirror I & II
the Lost Crown
UNDERCOVER- Operation Winterhur

Anyone can advise which of the above games are best played with an X-Box360 compatible Game Controller?


Thanks!

It was said a controller was a must for this one, in order to control the camera. I completed it with a keyboard and mouse, tough.

You might be able to look for a wrapper that translates the controller to keyboard commands. I'm think of doing the same for a couple of dosbox games.

XPadder should be able to, although there's possibly a few more out there that do it.

Edit: As for which should be played? I'm gonna say none, simply because I find a lot of games for the PC are made with the mouse/keyboard in mind.

what about Fahrenheit? granted never tried it with a keyboard/mouse but it just feels right with a controller to me *shrugs*

I think the only way you'll be able to find out for sure is if you just try both methods out. Some people prefer keyboard and mouse, others the controller. It's a personal preference.

If you need a way of running a controller on a PC game, I recommend Pinnacle Game Profiler. It's what I use and it works great.

I played Fahrenheit and Dreamfall with both keyboard and controller and I have to say that both games are much much better to play with a controller.
