007 Legends

Despite what we've tried, there was no way to get this game working with the xbox 360 joypad emulator for your logitech rumblepad 2 or dual action gamepads.

It does suck, not being able to enjoy a game title for PC using a good game pad.

This will be another game that get's resold fast, and as a 007 fan now I'm forced to get the PS3 version.

Hope for future support.

The Amazing Spiderman

This game works perfectly with a Logitech Rumblepad 2 or Dual Action Gamepad, but the game just keeps crashing on my game station, it's too bad as the game is quite nice. And who don't love Spidey. Even the first update don't work.

There is plenty of info on how to fix this on the net, but nothing works for me. Too bad, well I got my hope up, atleast for a while, before I will get rid of the game.

Also should say that what I see of the game so far, it's quite hard on consuming cpu/gpu, so you better be on a great machine to play it.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

If seems as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, does not offer any gamepad support, so the only way is using some key to gamepad mapper, like xpadder...

This is not good guys! It's 2011, the user should be choosing how to play the game, not the developer... :)

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions support your Logitech Rumblepad 2 or Dual Action Gamepad without adding the xbox 360 emulation. Thanks to the great developers of this game for supporting our pads!

And now off you swing to enjoy this amazing game.

Call of Duty: Black Ops

Now you may enjoy the game with full joypad support.

James Bond 007: Blood Stone

James Bond 007: Blod Stone does not support Logitech Rumblepad 2 or Dual Action game pads very well, it seems to work a bit in the menus, but not in the game itself, and there was not much luck with the xbox 360 emulators available.

Edit: These files should give you more than enough support to play it :

http://rapidshare.com/files/430357953/rumblepad2-xinput.rar

Copy them into :

\Program Files\Activision\James Bond 007(TM) - Blood Stone\

x360ce.ini

XInputTest.exe

And don't forget to enable controller into the game options (Controller).

If you don't get this working, then your best bet is to use xpadder, download and install, and get mapping...

Now you can get the game work fairly good...

I did config it similar to the PS3 version,

R1 - Weapon Fire
R2 - Weapon Reload - Pickup
DPAD-UP - Use Smartphone
DPAD-DOWN - Activate Smartphone

Transformers: War for Cybertron

Another hopefully great release, it seems to have native logitech rumblepad 2 and dual action game pad support, but I found that the controls where strange, so the only solution was to...

Download the file :

http://rapidshare.com/files/249171338/xbox360emulator-v1.0.rar

extract the content and copy the files :

dinput8.dll
xinput1_3.dll
XInputTest.exe

Into the installed directory like :

\Program Files\Activision\Transformers - War for Cybertron\Binaries\

Now everything where as perfect as they could be... The kids will love this game...

Singularity

This game got build in pad support for the logitech rumblepad 2 and dual action game pads, menu controls are a bit strange.

You may use xpadder to map some of the missing functionality like getting the pause menu in game.

Overall it seems to be a decent game, but it uses alot of CPU, and caused a bit of stutter on my setup. I'm probably putting this game on the shelf until I get my system upgraded.

Another solution to get the pad working correctly, without the need to use xpadder, or modify the controlls are...

Download the file :

http://rapidshare.com/files/249171338/xbox360emulator-v1.0.rar

extract the content and copy the files :

dinput8.dll
xinput1_3.dll
XInputTest.exe

Into the installed directory like :

\Program Files\Activision\Singularity(TM)\Binaries\

Now, you may enjoy this shooter, as it should be with the correct pad layout.

Blur

Finally Blur is available for us on the PC. In order to get it working with your logitect rumblepad 2 / dual action game pad, all you need to do is ...

copy the files of x360ce vibmod 3.1.4.0 :

x360ce.ini
xinput1_3.dll
XInputTest.exe

Into the installed directory like :

\Program Files\Activision\Blur(TM)

Now, after completing "Split Second", I'm ready to take on this racer. To see if it got what it takes to make it to the top... so far it looks pretty good.

Edit: after playing it for a while, it just don't feels like this game is going to make the top list. It's not my kind of racing... I'm more into the "Split Second" kind of racing type... So do try this for a while before you buy it, so you wont be dissappointed... I'm going to give this a few more hours to see if it'll get any better down the line... But the "power-ups" make this game feel more like a "kids" game than anything else...

Shrek Forever After

This game do have joy pad support, but you will have to turn it on by choosing controller, then choose Assign, and press a button on the controller, do this for each of the players.

Now let's see if the game itself is worth while, from the first looks it appears more to be a game from a few years ago. But after playing it the bad first impressions fade away, and the game is actually quite good. The multi-player feature makes it truly enjoyable.

But do try it for a while before you buy it.

Edit: after completing this game, I must say it's quite good. Reminds me a bit of shrek 2 for PS2. It's mostly fun with at least 2 players at the same time, and this is a very kid friendly game. It's a must for any game loving shrek fan.

Wolfenstein

After a dry month of no real good game releases for the PC, we're back with a cool game that we all been waiting for, wolfenstein. Playable out of the box with a rumble pad 2, you just need to change the controller.

But to enjoy it fully, you have to install the xbox 360 emulation and it works perfectly.

Download :

http://rapidshare.com/files/249164419/xinputemu3.0.zip

Extract and put the files into :

Program Files/Activision/Wolfenstein/SP

xbox360cemu.ini
xinput1_3.dll
xinput9_1_0.dll
XInputTest.exe

Then start the game, select controller "xbox-360...". And now you see press "A" & "B", etc... instead of just the Press [Enter], [Esc]...

This is quite a nice game, with patch 1.1 you will be able to enjoy the single player mode with save fully working.

I've not yet had a chance to fully evaluate it. I hope there is some way to turn of the blood & gore. :) So far I give it easily an 8.0.

Guitar Hero World Tour

I was trying to get the xbox 360 controller emulation to work for this game, but it just would not. but xpadder would do the trick for you, just do the mapping of the keys to what you want it to be on your joypad.

I'm not much of a fan of these games, but I thought I would try it out for a few moments to see what songs they got on. But I guess pretty soon it'll get boring. I'll rate this game 5 of 10.

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

Ice Age works perfect with a rumble pad 2, you just need to copy the following files into the path.

Program Files/Activision/Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs(TM)/
xbox360cemu.ini
xinput1_3.dll
xinput9_1_0.dll

As a lover of the previous ps2 games, I expect quite allot from this game as it is the third in the series, hope it will live up to it. So far it looks like it will live up to it, some info from the box. One thing I notice is the audio is a bit bad, but that might be adjustable, I did not tune the audio yet. I'll be on this one for a couple of hours before I get back to overlord II (my current top game).

Join Ice Age's unlikely herd of prehistoric pals for their wildest, wackiest, most exciting adventure yet! For the first time, play as six beloved Ice Age characters as they embark on a rescue mission across melting snow to the mysterious Dinosaur World - an all-new, fur-raising jungle of carnivorous plants, lush foliage and fierce dinosaurs.

Based on the highly anticipated Fox film Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, it's a rollicking ride of mammoth proportions! Revisit the humor, characters and prehistoric environments from the movie - Players relive adventures from the film and beyond with all their favorite characters - earnest but goofy Sid the Sloth, big-hearted Manny the Mammoth, courageous Diego the Saber-toothed Tiger and inadvertent troublemaker Scrat - as they all frozen Ice Age to the lush Dinosaur World.

Experience continuously changing gameplay through more than 15 levels - Every level presents new and exciting challenges as players learn and master each character's abilities in order to defeat enemies, traverse dangerous landscapes, avoid obstacles and escape from perilous situations.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

This seems to work fine just out of the box, except as with ghostbusters, the camera seems to be sliding down all the time, I've not yet found a solution for this problem. Might be some settings available for the pad, if anyone knows please let me know. [Note: I've found the solution that it is probably a bad connection, unplugging and replugging it in will do the trick, just run the config program for the pad, and check that the two are in the middle when not touching them], hopefully this problem is not to reoccuring.

The game itself so far I'm just past the tutorial and into the first mission (3%), it's not really my kind of game, I was expecting a bit less complex game, more plug and play, less have to figure out the settings and options. it's also a big downer that it wont do my current game setup resolution 1360 x 768. I have to settle with 1280 x 720, which does not look as good on my monitor, the picture becomes quite dark in this mode.

I've never played the first game, but I'm sure it's not much better, at the moment I think only hardcore transformers fans would find this game attractive. I would rate it 5 / 10.

It'll probably be gone quite fast from my HD to make space for something more interesting.

Prototype

This game fully supports the rumble pad. It's a so so game, looks like entierly built on the spiderman engine.

Spider-Man - Web of Shadows

For this game you need to copy the files into :

Program Files/Activision/Spider-Man - Web of Shadows/image/pc

dinput8.dll
xinput1_3.dll
xbox360cemu.ini

It's one of the "older" games that I still wanted to try on my new setup, and being a dedicated spider-man fan it's definitely one for the collection. It's overall a great game that flows nicely with good atmosphere.

Monsters vs. Aliens

Another game where the pad works perfectly.

The game itself is quite enjoyable, well worth spending time on completing. It's also a great relaxation compared to the more serious games that is more common on the PC platform.

X-Men Origins - Wolverine

This was the first game I tried that actually supports the logitech rumblepad 2, great work Activision.

The game itself is quite good. I've completed a few levels, but I'm quite happy with it. This is definatly worth completing. Did not have any problems with it so far, and the game flows nicely on my RADEON HD 4670.
