Idk if its my computer or the game but I have been downloading demos of some games just to try them out and give me something to do and I bought a $20 gamepad to go with my computer and it dont show up in the game.

like the game doesnt even have an option like "Use Gamepad" or anything

id really like to use it cause i really do hate using the keyboard, is there something im missing?

 
This has happened to me as well. It seems like some games don't have the option to use a controller. I don't know why. Seems like it would be the easy thing to do. Either that or we're both missing something.

One more thing. Make sure the computer has recognised the controller or it won't show up as an option even in games that do support it.

if you bought it just from a guy on ebay it may have came with drivers and the person didnt include them? but if you can calibirate it maybe its plug and play.

 
Its plug and play, and I bought it from walmart and it came with drivers and they are installed.

Im looking through the UBI forums now for an answer...

 
Tried that, doesnt work

just for reference its Rainbow Six: Lockdown

and it also doesnt work on Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter..

OR my Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood game....
