    Trust me, you don't, a keyboard is much much much more handy, as there are only so many buttons on a gamepad...

    If you can find a way to get the 360 controller to appear as a windows controller, sure. However I wouldn't want to group with you. Your ability to select specific targets and choose which spells to cast would suck unbelievably.
