    I just got Controllers for All to work, and I am wanting to know the games that work the best with controllers. :)

    My picks:

    MHFU
    Space Marshals
    Transistor
    FF7
    Geometry Wars
    Goblin Sword
    Shadowgun
    Tainted Keep
    Star Horizon
    Fahrenheit
    Counterspy
    Wayward Souls
    Inferno 2

    Implosion is ok but i really hate how there isnt MFi support outside of mission.

    I'm really enjoying the recently released Horizon Chase with a controller. Doesn't work for the menus though.

    @EP I haven't tried Wayward Souls with a controller. You like it better than the touch controls?

    I dont really want to compare coz both are perfectly implemented. If anything, the MFi buttons are somewhat better than the swipe-to-use-specials command with touch, but both MFi and touch implementations are pretty much spot-on.

    I burned out my controller batteries twice this weekend on Horizon Chase and Pac Man 256. The beauty of both of those is the touch controls are equally good, but I prefer controller. Transistor I think works better with touch, just about any platformer and dual stick shooter better with controller. Great list btw, EP, I also have to try Wayward Souls with my controller. I never got very far into it, even though I loved it.

    I really love abusing the perfection the MFi controller analog sticks bring, so here are some of my favorites that abuse them. Some of these i may have mentioned in the previous recommends list already:

    Age of Zombies
    The Bard's Tale
    Bastion
    Beatbuddy
    Dark Echo
    Gene Effect
    Geometry Wars 3
    Halo Spartan Strike (touch controls suck, but the MFi controls is perfect)
    Implosion (no MFi support on menus and equip screens, but the actual missions with the MFi are fantastic)
    Inferno 2
    Minigore 2
    Monster Hunter Freedom Unite
    Oceanhorn
    Oddworld
    Powerpuff Girls Defenders of Townsville (this has been pulled, but im hoping you already had this)
    Shadowgun
    Space Marshals
    Star Horizon
    Transistor
    Wayward Souls
    Xenowerk

    I hope you have a blast with your MFi controller Sonix!

    Horizon Chase
    Downwell
    .Decluster Zero

    Rex Rocket, like Implosion, doesnt have MFi support outside of the main game. You'll need to use touch controls to navigate menus, inventories, maps, etc.

    Dust An Elysian Tale has its dev promising MFi support, since it already had a controller support from the original release, but he needs to translate those to the MFi.

    The free version of Mines of Mars has MFi support, and we're waiting for the MFi support update to hit the paid version as well. This is kinda annoying coz it feels like the paid version is getting ignored at this point.

    What controllers is everyone using, what do you think and why? Iv used controllersfor all when I was jailbroken with a ps3 pad and it was ok. Iv thought of getting a mfi pad like the steel series stratus tho.

    The best ones so far (based on TA review and Afterpad) are Horipad, Madcatz CTRLi, Madcatz CTRLi Micro, and the Steelseries line.

    I can attest that these work great^

    I'd also list MC5, Afterpulse and Geometry Wars 3.

    Btw, MOGA Rebel user here and even at the $80 USD price point I can't knock it other than the occasional disconnect.

    Goat Simulator games just got support. If you aren't playing those, you're missing out

    Madcatz Micro C.T.R.L i is an excellent controller. I have been jamming out with mine all week! So GREAT! Most affordable controller on the market as well. Only drawback is the need for 2 AAA batteries. Which last about 30 gaming hours. I am using batteries, because I am abusing the crap out of this controller : )

    Looks like it's time to bump this thread. Just picked up a Steelseries Nimbus for myself, and I know many games have been updated with controller support now. :)
