Gamepads have always been somewhat of an after thought for the PC and PC games; support across games was sparse at best and most non first person shooters didn't support them at all. The introduction of the Games for Windows brand last year has given way to a new wave of gamepads. Here is a list of 10 great picks that offer ease of use, comfort and lots of buttons. The compare price link will provide you with some online price comparisons.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
A lot of these are incompatible with most games.
I don't understand it.
I've bought lots of joypads over the years for my PC and nothing comes close to the quality of one of the console pads such as the 360 or PS3 pads. I love Logitech's mice and steering wheels but their pads leave a lot to be desired and Saitek's offering's just feel cheap and flimsy and not as responsive. Microsoft and Sony spend millions in R&D because the pad is the primary input device for their machines and it shows.
I say the 360 controller is the best. Because most new games work with it straight away and it doesnt need to be configured or anything.
Yell at me for not doing research but I never quite understood why it would be a bad idea for the 360 controller, which is my favorite by the way, to sell a model with the dpad in the far left as an option for those fighter games and all...
