Crysis 2

Crysis 2, in order to get it working you need to install the xbox 360 emulation software... Do the following to install it...

Download :

or

http://xinput.googlecode.com/files/xbox360cemu.v.3.0.rar

Extract the files :

dinput8.dll
xbox360cemu.ini
xinput1_3.dll
xinput9_1_0.dll

and copy them into folder :

\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis 2\bin32\

This is also another of those highly anticipated games, so I won't be spending more time here... This was tested on Windows 7 64bit (SP1). Now enjoy the game...

Need for Speed: Shift

Another great game this week. Between Batman, Resident Evil and now Need for speed, I'm in a difficuly choise of what game to complete first. These are all 3 rock solid games that gives you all the value for the money you may wish for.

And thank god that they do work with the logitech controllers.

1. If you haven't you should modify the registry to alter the name of your controller to say "XBOX 360 Controller for Windows".

Then download :

Extract and copy the following files into the game directory :

xbox360cemu.ini
xinput1_3.dllx
input9_1_0.dll

This worked great for me. This is a very good game, an easy 10 out of 10. I've been playing it alot. It's alot more fun than those need for speed street racing games. At least for me.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

In the game of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, players will return to Hogwarts to help Harry survive a fraught sixth year. They will also have a chance to engage in exciting wizard duels, mix and brew magical ingredients in Potions class and take to the air to lead the Gryffindor Quidditch team to victory. Players may even get sidetracked by Ron’s romantic entanglements as they journey towards a dramatic climax and discover the identity of the Half-Blood Prince.

This game works with the rumble pad 2 out of the box. Even if it shows you a picture of a xbox 360 controller it will still refer to numbers. Quite a nice game, but I was expecting a bit more from such a big title.
