There are many types of games and mostly use a keyboard and a mouse to play them.
There are some games that are better played using a PC controller. The controllers as an example are joystick, gamepads, wheels, Pedals, etc… There are games like flight simulators who require cockpit equipment like joysticks, or flight sticks, pedals, throttle, etc… In case you like more to drive fast on car/bike race simulators, then you can use a joystick, or a gamepad or a wheel and pedals to be able to simulate in full the car driving experience.

The virtual reality games, require you to wear some computer wires, in order for you to feel as if you are really within the game, and part of it, so there are somebody pads, gloves, etc… that you can wear and the computer can know where you are against the game being played, and what actions you do, and transfer them into the game. Even though those kinds of games are not yet in our home computers, they will probably get there eventually, and even for them, there is suitable equipment.

There are so many types of gamepads out there, that I have no intention
of listing them all. But I will let you get a glimpse of what is out there, and you will be able to search yourself for the gamepad that suits you best.

Remark: I have to say this since I sometimes prefer using the keyboard and mouse for certain games, that might be played better with gamepads or joysticks, but still it is a matter of taste, all you need to do is just try it out, and see if it suits you.

When you love playing flight simulators, one of the most thrilling parts, other than amazing graphics and excellent performances, are the tools you are playing with. Since it is a simulator, you actually visualize yourself sitting in the cockpit (fighter plane, commercial airliner or a chopper) holding the stick and do amazing things, kill the enemy or just be able to lift off, and land again safely. So, to be able to visualize it better, you need the fitting controllers in your hands and for that, you have many different types of controllers to choose from and you can find those devices that will connect to your computer, and fit to the game you like to play, this will change the game experience for you, guaranteed.

There are racing games and most of them simulate the driving of a car to perfection, so all that you miss from the game experience are the actual hits, the slides through the turns, G forces, drifts etc…. you can see the car doing amazing tricks, and know that they will affect you in such a way, but it is in your mind, and you can’t really feel it on your body. To be able to visualize it better, there are computer controllers, joystick, wheels, pedals that can give you the thrill of holding the wheel while you go crazy around the track and you can also choose those with “Force-Feedback” that can give you resistance and trembling while you drive, so you might have a feel of the ground shaking under the wheels. Again, there are many options out there, just check, maybe try it out before you buy, purchase it, and enjoy the real simulation experience of playing those games.

We can choose a game controller or we can just stick to a keyboard and a mouse, and still enjoy the games immensely as the games improve performance and graphics, so we can enjoy an almost real like effects of playing the games. Computer game graphics are getting seriously close to becoming almost like video, the characters and views are so real, you almost get the feeling you’re out there, and it is the real-world.

Enjoy playing games!!!

There are many games and many good games, but there are always some which are better than others, even though this is a matter of taste, some likes adventure games, some first man shooters, some like war games, etc…
I am sharing my opinion of the best games I preferred over the years. I played many games and many of them I have finished. I will give you my opinion and why I preferred them over others. This list contains only PC games.

The best first man shooters:

Call Of Duty (series) – The games of call of duty are one of the best first man shooter type of game. the games are leading you along a path, you are guided where to go, and what is the mission, while you are fighting alongside an army force, charging with the platoon you are assigned to, and while you have the freedom to attack the enemy forces along that guided path, there are limitations of where  you can go. Even though there is that limitation of being forced to walk along that path of assignment, the excellent graphics and gameplay is very enjoyable, and you find yourself playing for hours without noticing how time passes and that proves the game is a very good game.

Crysis (series) – This is one of the best games I have ever had a chance to play, the graphics are so good it’s amazing how real graphics can get. The gameplay is fast, accurate and enables futuristic technologies of weapons and cloaking as you play a soldier in an elite unit that has a special advanced suit that has many special abilities and armor. The storyline starts normal and becomes more advanced and science fiction like as the plot progresses. You find yourself playing for hours and hours, from battle to battle, from challenge to challenge as they become harder as the progress of the mission. You can change and improve your weapons assembly, like different scopes and silencers, exploding ammunition and much more. This game is a very enjoyable one, and anyone who likes a first-person shooter will be amazed at how good this game is.

Driving Games (Races):

Need For Speed (series) – These are the best driving games you most definitely will enjoy, the driving simulation is amazing, you can take the car and do with it things that you wouldn’t dare to do on a regular road. The kind of driving techniques that you only see on race tracks or on auto shows you can do on this game and the effects on the cars seems so real, that while you drive your car at a tight 90͘ degree corner to make a fast turn while running away from cops that are trying to bust you, or just to drive faster than your opponents and arrive first to the finish line. The graphics and realism of these driving series are so amazing that if you love driving fast cars, but can’t afford a real one (they are very expensive) you can just enjoy these real simulation games with great graphics and amazing views.

Colin McRae: Dirt (series) – The top best Rally racing game is the Collin McRae Dirt game. This game is amazing, the Rally race drive is so smooth and accurate, you can drift easily around corners. The graphics of the game are truly amazing, the roads and the views are awesome, very real. The most difficult missions are those who are conducted in the forests, if you make a mistake you will find yourself crashing into a tree trunk turning your ride useless. This Rally simulation game is amazing, enjoyable and everyone who likes to drive fast and drift wildly will find this game is a dream.

Wheelman – This one is another excellent, full action driving game. If you like full action racing games with crazy very fast driving, this is the game for you. The game has a storyline that goes along the action-driving scenes. You receive missions, and you just have to show how good you are at driving, while you ride, turn fast corners, drift, and shoot gangsters and other disturbing drivers from blocking your way or preventing you from arriving in your destination on time. You can get into any car, truck or motorcycle that goes near you, and just go blow some steam at this fast-moving game. Anyone who likes to drive fast with a car, bust other cars at high speeds, this game is the game for you. The graphics are pretty good, they just don’t reduce the performance from the game, even though it is a bit drawing kind of graphics, it is still accurate enough to let you believe the environment is real, but don’t worry, while you concentrate on driving very fast you will not have the time to enjoy the view.

Third Person Action Game:

Assassin’s Creed – This game is one of the best third-person action-adventure video game I have ever had the pleasure of playing. This game has one of the most freedom of motion, and a range of actions that the character has is just pure enjoyment. You can do whatever you want, climb walls, jump from roof to roof, drop down on enemies, fight with your fists or do amazing versatile tricks with your sword, throwing knives, and much more. This game is one of the best, one of the most innovative third-person action game you have ever stumble upon. The plot and storyline might be a bit confusing at first, and even though the base of the game is fictional, the actual missions take place at a historical age. If you enjoy a game that doesn’t limit you, and is full of action scenes and let you choose how to progress during the main plot and missions, so you could plan your own way of moving along the main path, this is definitely the game for you. The game is so real, you just feel the range of motion, and graphics and the way the crowd acts simulate real-life so accurately that you will feel you really are at that era in time.

There are many amazing excellent games, but I chose to list only the best I had the privilege of playing.
