Versatility is the key to a good controller.
NOW, WE’RE NOT USUALLY a magazine to focus on gaming, because we happily leave that to our sister title PC Gamer, but there’s no arguing about the fact that the majority of the team here certainly does. It’s a great way to while away a few hours at the end of the working day, either relaxing with our buddies, or even (oddly, in our modern age) bonding with family. Over the last 10 years, PCs have arguably cemented themselves at the center of the gaming world. Say what you like about consoles, but you just can’t argue with the versatility that a Windows system provides when it comes to that favored technological pastime. Whether it’s first-person shooters, racing sims, real-time strats, or just goofy indie platformers, the PC can and does do it all, with an insurmountable armada of exclusives, to boot.
