Pc Bioshock + xbox 360 controller

[rokkolpo]

I recently got bioshock for the pc and the booklet says i can use the xbox 360 controller on it.

so my question: how do i do this?
be sure to talk in simple language because i know next to nothing about computers.

Plug the 360 controller into the usb port. They're made for that. The computer should recognize it automatically. Or at least I didn't have to install anything.

If you plug it in it should just work, but why the hell would you do that when you have m+kb ?

If you have a wired Xbox 360 controller, simply plug the square USB plug from the 360 controller into the PC. if it's wireless, you'll need to buy a $25 Wireless adapter. [http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Wireless-Gaming-Receiver-Windows-Pc/dp/B000HZFCT2]


After you have the 360 controller hooked up then it should automatically detect the 360 controller, so just push some buttons on the controller and off you go.

This worked for me in DiRT 1 and 2, GRID, and Just Cause 2. If it doesn't work you'd have to ask someone who owns Bioshock for the PC and uses a 360 controller.

yeah that's the problem, i don't have a mouse.
so i was checking out if i needed to buy a portable mouse or just use the 360 controller.

thanks everyone for posting i have my answer.
