    Recently just bought a new laptop and wireless XBOX 360 Controller. Looking for a few suggestions of some good games to play with a controller.

    Currently playing Need For Speed and Skyrim just wondered if anyone had any other favourites?

    Trying to pass the time until FIFA 14 comes out! :)

    Those are the games I went for a controller when I got them.

    Had a lot of fun playing both games, closest thing to a Zelda experience on PC.

    I played the Assassin's Creed series, the Arkham series, and Far Cry 3 with a controller. I know for sure a controller is recommended for the AC series due to jumping and running certain angles not working too well with WASD.

    Don't forget you can also use Xpadder if a game doesn't support a controller. I play a lot of Killingfloor and Payday in this manner.
    BF3 even works great with the contoller but you'll get slaughtered.

    I bought Devil May Cry during Steam's summer sale - it works great with my Xbox360 controller, and is pretty fun too!

    I no longer even buy games unless the 360 controller is supported, I find it that nice. I don't game at my desk though, I hook up to the big screen and lounge.

    Anyway, Sleeping Dogs! Great game, flawed but loads of fun. I got it for $6.29 during the quake con sale. Don't pay $50 for it, but do wishlist it for the holiday sale.

    Almost every modern PC game supports 360 controller.
    If not, you can use Pinnacle Game Profiler, xpadder... with great results.
