Info:

          The “Earth Defense Force” series started as game under the Japanese discount brand know as “Simple 2000” series for the PlayStation 2. These were budget priced game that were made by small developer teams. The first game was titled, “Monster Attack”, which got a European release. “Global Defense Force” was the sequel and also got a European release. While they were sequels, they had nothing to do with each other story-wise. None of the games got a North American release as the Publisher feared that Americans would not like that kind of game. “Global Defense Force” would get a Japanese sequel know as “Global Defense Force Tactics”.

PC Game Pad Info

                                                      PC Game Pad Info

    When it comes to playing games on the PC, sometimes a controller is better to use then a keyboard and mouse. 2D games, fighting games, and driving games are more comfortable with a controller. Some games are programmed badly and a controller naturally works better then the keyboard and mouse. Other times, you may want to play on the couch and find a controller more comfortable. Whatever the reason is, picking a good controller and getting it to work is important. Games these days are programmed to recognize a Xbox 360 controller and you may not have one to use for your pc. These suggestions might help.


Xbox One Controller:

    When it comes to PC game-pads, the Xbox One controller is probably the overall best one to use for the PC. The direction pad is improved over the Xbox 360 controller and it has all the functions needed for direct input and Xinput games. Unlike other controllers, it doesn’t has significant issues like analog sticks having big dead zones, triggers not analog, or buttons not being responsive. It can also use any USB to Micro USB cable. Some games that use Xinput might not work correctly due to the drivers being different then the Xbox 360 controller drivers. This can be fixed though by following these instructions at this website.
