Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller

Well, the X-box 360 wireless controller is unsuprisingly the controller for the X-Box 360. It's a white gamepad, with various buttons and control sticks on it. There are four coloured buttons which are easily reachable with the right thumb. There is also an analogue control stick next to these which is easily reachable. The left thumb takes control of 'directions' using another analogue stick, and a digital direction pad. Between the two analogue sticks are three buttons. Two for pausing and getting options in games, and a large, silver button in the centre which takes you back to the x-box dashboard. On the back of the controller where ...  Read the complete review

The xbox 360 has a vast range of multiplayer games available. Xbox don't focus on multiplayer games as much as the Wii do, but they are still a major part. The Xbox allows for up to 4 controllers to be connected at any one time via wireless or the standard wired controller. The Xbox 360 has one of the best shaped and well developed controller of any game consol on the market in my opinion. The consol itself will usually come with 1 wireless controller and nothing else. It id defiantly worth getting at least one more. The wireless controllers are very good quality. If you have a large room and sit back from the TV it is worth getting a wireless controller. ...  Read the complete review

Even before the XBox 360 was released, i couldn't wait to use the controller, however weird that sounds. Prior to the release of the XBox 360, my favourite controller was for the Nintendo 64. The closest after that was the XBox original controllers - both the massive one (The Duke!) and the Controller 'S'. Its definitely a good looking controller. The white plastic and the coloured buttons make it look great, although there isnt much time to look at it during a long game of Halo! On the front are the 2 analog sticks used for movement in most games. These have a good resistance, are very well placed and seem quite hard to break...! A few ...  Read the complete review

The Xbox 360 controller is the most impressive one yet in my opinion. It has a great design, lovely feel and many functions - it is truly next generation. You can buy either a wired or wireless version, and in this case I would highly recommend the wireless version, as gaming feels so much more free and better. The controller is white with grey parts to match the Xbox 360 colour scheme. The controller is different to the original Xbox controller and looks newer, more modern and more impressive. The controller is either powered through the Xbox with the wired version or with the battery pack that slots onto the back, which comes with the wireless controller. ...  Read the complete review

The Xbox 360 controller comes with the console but you may want to buy more to have multiple players on certain games for the same console. You can buy the controller as a wireless or wired one. They cost around £24 or £20 respectively on amazon.co.uk, so for less hassle, I would highly recommend the wireless one as it makes gaming so much better and gives you great flexibility. The controller has a wide range of buttons, which come in useful in all kinds of games. The four main buttons are to the right-hand side - A, B, Y and X, which are green, red, yellow and blue respectively to give the controller a retro gaming look. A is commonly used as the 'select' ...  Read the complete review
