I have the second (?) gen Logitech wireless one, it was actually a good controller and X-Men Legends 2 supported it (the buttons on screen were right!). I just got tired of all the 360 controller support and buttons, so I caved and I'm quite glad I did.

Be sure to get the controller "for Windows", it comes bundled with the USB dongle you'll need. You can buy the dongle separately for like $15 if you mess up :)

Yeah, if you're going wireless you need the "for Windows" one.  If you're okay with wired, either a normal 360 or "for Windows" one will work fine, the latter just comes with a driver disc that you almost certainly won't need.

What you don't want is a "Play and Charge" one, that has a USB cable, but it's only for charging.  Otherwise, it's still a wireless controller so you'd need to buy the dongle that Sky mentioned anyway.

The PC version is a million times better. No joke, they highly optimized the code. There is even extra content and features in the PC version over the Xbox version.
It's really one of those games that shows how badly others are doing PC ports. Game will run smooth and look amazing even on lower end machines.
Now I'm kind of tempted. I never beat it on the 360 because it ran so poorly, but I liked it well enough until I got fed up.

Edit: Nevermind, it's not on sale anymore. Bleh.

This would also be where schild jumps in and tells me how to use that NewEgg link at the upper right to get him money.

I can count on one hand the number of times I've done this to anyone. Also, I should remove that NewEgg link. Use the Amazon link.

Yeah, seemed like a dead link. Amazon ships as quick as newegg did (at least they do from the UK to Finland), pretty much the same prices. I'll just use them.

Hearing everyone's replies, I might actually pick up TQ. I liked D2 a good deal but didn't care for Torchlight.

Hm, I'm not sure what this does to your thoughts, but I would say D2 and Torchlight are a fair bit more like each other than TQ is like either.

Checked out Torchlight last night due to this discussion.  Been wanting something like this to play from time to time and I'm not waiting for D3.  Demo was great considering it was "The Game."  Cool thing was I got to the end of it.  It said buy me to play more.  I did and I instatly got back in and played past the demo stage, same character, no loss.  Nice setup. 

This is definitely more of a D2 clone than TQ was.  I mean the music and sounds are almost identical.  Feels like D2 but with some cool new things attached.  Oh, and cartoony, which is fine with me.  I have yet to find where the skill trees suck, but I figured it was worth $15 to find out for myself and have fun in the process.  Watch this become a daily special within a week.

Yeah, I haven't seen that but for a couple of times, a long time ago. Like when they first went up.

I have't heard much of anything about Lego Batman, so likely a no. I get a feeling they will slash it to -75% along with Arkham Asylum come Christmas time anyhow. Best bet would just be to wait.

Good point, I suppose this really probably applies to almost any sale for the next month or so.

I bought it along with Lego Star Wars and played them on my Wii. I liked them and felt they were worth the money.

I know it's probably too late to be of help but I played Lego Batman with my son on the 360, nice fun game (very funny cut scenes) although it suffers from the early 'single screen' issue all the early lego titles do when played co-op.

Lots of replay value to get all the unlocks but unfortunately my 5 year old hasnt got the patients to re-do all the levels he's already finished _just_ to get all the mini kits etc etc.

I enjoyed Lego Batman on the 360, I have no idea how it plays on the PC.

I'd love to snag it for IV, but the GFWL/Rockstar Club bullshit just kills it for me.  I had to login to my login so I could login to my game.   swamp poop

Is it really that bad? I was annoyed having to go through the process of setting up a GFWL ID the first time after getting Fable 3 but at this point it just logs itself on automatically when I start the game and I don't even notice it.

Probably not.  I hate GFWL so much that I am likely exaggerating.  I really didn't like having to log into RS Social club along with it, though.  That made me pissy and I never was able to get into the game because it seemed like it took three full minutes to actually get past loading screens and logins.

I believe they pulled the Social Club requirement, you can just skip it when you start the game. Yes, it's an extra click. I think GTA4 was definitely worth it, but I liked it a lot more than most here.

Yeah, our family likes playing these Lego games on our PS3.  That leaves a great question though.  Can we play coop on the PC versions and avoid the single screen issue all together?  That would be sweet.

I still think London:1969 was the best GTA of them all.

I hate GFWL so much I'd much rather get GTA4 for the 360 than use that abortion of an addon service.

I've got to say I really don't like GFWL, I think it's a retarded system to set up and is a complete pain in the ass for anyone with an unreliable net connection and adds a totally unnecessary extra layer of shit to go wrong that can make it impossible to play a game you've bought and paid for. I can understand making use of it for stock retail boxes but if a game is Steamworks then publishers that use GFWL as well should jump off a cliff into a car fire.

That said, once you've got it all set up, as long as your net connection is trundling along fine then it isn't a hassle. It hasn't stopped me logging into any games for a good long while but it was really annoying when it went wrong once and denied me access to any save games.
