Re: how to use computer as a game console?

Hi noname,

Game Controllers:

Game controllers will work with most games that are sold with the description:
PC games - There are very few exceptions. Freelancer for example requires
a keyboard and a mouse to play, and it works quite well that way.

Multiplayer:

Most games are not head to head games, but rather they allow you to play
online or through a LAN in a multiplayer environment against several players.

I hope that helps answer some of your PC gaming questions.
