Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight

This game is without gamepad support, so you have to use xpadder if you want to game with your pad. I did configure mine, and was able to play the game all to the end without any problems, just map the important keys, and off you go...

Being a past fan of Command & Conquer, I enjoyed the game, as well as some newcomers to this game might do. For multiplayer battle I asume keyboard / mouse might be the better option, as joypad do slow down the reaction time for this kind of game.

But if your not into these type of games, you might just leave this one alone, it's not your typical console game experience. It's fun while it lasts, takes around 2 days of playing to complete all the missions, after that it's not really interesting anymore, for single-players.

Just Cause 2

Looks like another great game, for the mature audience, square always been one of my favorite developers, this game will need the xbox 360 emulation patch in the following directory in order to work with logitech rumblepad 2 / dual action game pads.

\Program Files\SQUARE ENIX - Eidos Interactive\Just Cause 2

copy the files of x360ce vibmod 3.1.4.0 :

x360ce.ini
xinput1_3.dll
XInputTest.exe

And off you go, to a pure pad experience. I'm off playing and evaluating this game now, to see if it's going to make the top lists.

Metro 2033

Looks like a great game, if you want to get it working, you'll have to use the xbox 360 joypad emulation software x360ce vibmod 3.1.4.0, it works like a charm, copy the files :

x360ce.ini
xinput1_3.dll
XInputTest.exe

Into the installed directory where the metro2033.exe start file is located for example :

\Program Files\METRO 2033

I'm now off to evaluate this PC / XBOX 360 exclusive game, to see if it lives up to the hype. So far it looks very good.

Alice in Wonderland

Finally a game that works out of the box using your logitech rumblepad 2 and dual action game pads. And it's not a bad game either, it's quite good, and it's a must to enjoy it with your game pads. You'll need a friend and two pads...

This will take you on the amazing journey of Alice and her friends. Enjoy it as well as the movie available in 3D, Tim Burton always been one of my favorite story tellers, ever since Nightmare Before Christmas...

Off to enjoy this game...

Update : Just completed the game, and it's a wonderful story, and It's one you can enjoy playing with your kids, as it allows for two players to help each other on the journey. If you're looking for a game for you kids, or just some light entertainment for yourself, this is a sure bet. It's a game made to be played with game pads, so you'll need two of them.
