Xbox Controller Gaming Has Developers Psyched about Microsoft Surface

Kazdal seems excited about playing games on tablet with an Xbox 360 controller. He also mentioned that Skulls for Surface will combine with three distinct, discrete control schemes.

The controls are quite handy and one can play with mouse, laptop, keyboard, touchscreen and iPad. The game depends on turn-based system, hence the action part is not that intense. So it’s not going to cost you as much as the glass-based interface system.

Kazdal finally said that he prefers using MAC than the Windows Laptops.
