While I do find it nice to see an article showing that some game developers (proprietary ones) do consider Linux worth porting to, I have to ask:

Why in the world would you link to an Xbox360 controller?

Yes, I understand that many games play well with a controller, but there are standard usb game controllers out there.

In fact, I have an old one (don't remember exact model right now, it's in the basement) that I had out recently that is almost identical to a PS3 controller.

Why would you promote a peripheral from one of the most anti-FOSS companies out there when you could find a standard usb game controller that would work with almost anything that supports a game controller and point to it instead?

I have a dandy Logitech controller that happens to follow the same driver standard that the 360 controller uses. In Microsoftland it's probably the closest there is to a controller standard..
