Everything's cool with Dead Space for PC now that we have a wired Xbox gamepad that plugs right into the USB port on my computer. Apparently they don't actually sell these things anymore but the boy found one at RadioShack on super sale and brought it home to gleefully play his new game. He's super into it now and the "hard" part involving running around and hitting switches took only one try this time around. I'm glad he found this controller rather than getting a USB converter for the wireless one we've got, as that would kind of defeat the purpose of getting it for the PC rather than the Xbox. So anyone out there having issues trying to play Dead Space with a mouse, you might want to try to pick up one of these gamepads.
Ok, the more I look at the name "RadioShack" I can't help but think that you couldn't really pick a more obsolete-sounding name for an electronics store. Time for a reinvention as RS2.0 or something like that ala Electronics Boutique becoming EB Games.
