Mr. President is back, now you'll enjoy absolute power... This is a great game, and will work with your pad, using xpadder.

It's a great addition to the game, and I'm sure if your a fan already you will enjoy this game. Off to rule my tropical paradise...

Rocket Knight

This game is available for the PC, not just the PS3 or XBOX 360. It's a fairly good beatem up side scroller platform game. After just completing Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction, this game is a bit of a nice change. Despite it's designed for pads in general, you still need to copy the files into the installed directory to get the best experience.


copy the files of x360ce vibmod 3.1.4.0 :

x360ce.ini
xinput1_3.dll
XInputTest.exe

Woow, now lets see how kids friendly this game is, after a few minutes, I still think this game is not more than an average game, and since we're now the "3D" generation, I don't know if it will do that well.

The Whispered World

This is an adventure game, point and click, xpadder will do the trick for you as there is no native pad support. with xpadder you can map your mouse to your game pad, it works great with the Logitech Rumblepad 2, and Dual Action Game Pad.

This is quite a good game, it's a bit trick so a Walkthrough is a great help, I got stuck a few times, and it managed to keep my interest with some of the tricky bits to solve.

Enjoy this great and cute adventure.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction

It'll be fun to see if this game can compete with the entertainment of Just Cause II from Square. This is rated "M" for a mature teen audience, Now let's find out how to get playing with a pad, 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\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction\src\system\

copy the files of x360ce vibmod 3.1.4.0 :

x360ce.ini
xinput1_3.dll
XInputTest.exe

Dont forget, you need to set "Use Controller" in the setup.

Finally with a great pc, with the powerfull gfx card, you can enjoy this beyond anything a xbox 360 can push out. I'll be playing this one in the late nights for the next week.

Edit: note one big pain with Ubisoft's DRM protection, is that you need a constant internet connection, and this caused a bit of a problem for me, when my internet was down, and you just want to play. I'm not a big fan of this "online" solution, as many of people I know, don't have a internet connection. Suddenly they need one just to play games? It makes no sense. I do hope they find a better solution, don't think everyone are constantly connected, and online when and where they play games. It's a bit sad, I hear from many people that stay away from buying any software / games, that require being online. One of their arguments is that what if I play these games a few years from now, when for example the game provider exists no longer? Are the servers still there?

Grand Theft Auto IV: Episodes from Liberty City

Finally I get my hands on this release, even if my current computer quite don't perform to well with this game, it's still worth while. It works fine with the logitech rumblepad 2 / dual action game pads. Just go to controller setup, and set direct input to on.

This game includes two stories, and hopefully it'll be as great as the previous versions.

Prison Break: The Conspiracy

Since I've always been a big fan of the series, watched them all since I heard about the first season. I'll probably enjoy this game more than the average gamer would do.

I was easy enough to get the logitech rumblepad 2 working using the x360ce vibmod 3.1.4.0 emulation.

Just put the files :

x360ce.ini
xinput1_3.dll

in folder :

\Program Files\Deep Silver\Prison Break

And off you go on an adventure exploring fox river. Edit: after completing this game, it might not be as exiting for all us who already watched the tv series, as this game pretty much follows the first season. And there is not much surprises, I think I might have enjoyed it more, if I did not know the story. It'll take you about 6-8 hours to complete. Mostly walking around hiding from guards, picking up stuff. I think picking it up on sale would be good...

Assassin's Creed II

To get your rumble pad 2 or dual action game pad working with assassins creed II, just copy the x360ce vibmod 3.1.4.0 files into dir :

\Program Files\Ubisoft\Assassin's Creed II
x360ce.ini
xinput1_3.dll

And off you go. I'm sure I'll enjoy this one as much as the first edition...
