Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows
So maybe I’m a bit behind the times when it comes to computer gaming. Okay, I am way behind the times – but I have an excuse that I’ve got two small kids. Can’t say I’m too anxious to see them spend their days in front of a computer or the TV playing games all day – they need to be outside, running around and getting exercise!
Now for us adults, however, things are a bit different. Luckily, there’s nothing wrong with us entering a comatose state in front of the computer playing games until the wee hours of the morning. Well – when you have the time and can stay awake after running after kids all day, that is.
But being hunched over a laptop alone isn’t much fun, especially when your back hurts from being hunched over a laptop all day at work. There’s got to be something better. Ah, what about this nice Vista home theater PC I recently built? Maybe that could do the trick… but, how to play a game on that?! I don’t want to try and use some keyboard and mouse from the couch. Apparently, some smart people solved this issue many years ago by inventing things called video game consoles. These things came with an ingenious method of playing games called a gamepad. Over many, many years of grueling research and development, they managed to invent some of these gamepads that could work without wires. Wow! Now we’re on to something that just might solve the problem – but this isn’t a game console made just for using a gamepad, it’s a full fledged computer. How good could one of those wireless gamepads really work on this?
