Warhammer Online Gets its Own SwitchBlade

More On: Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning
EA Mythic is spreading the word that the SwitchBlade software program is now compatible with Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. SwitchBlade allows you to use an Xbox 360 controller in place of the standard keyboard and mouse duo to play certain PC games. Other games compatible with SwitchBlade are Call of Duty 4, Call of Duty 2, Counter Strike: Source, World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, Hellgate: London and Half-Life 2. An official Blade for Age of Conan is also on its way.

Personally SwitchBlade wouldn't do me any good. I've never gotten a good feel for the Xbox 360 controller which is too big for my hands. However for anyone who has a setup where they can route their video to their big screen tv, I imagine an Xbox 360 controller would be much more comfortable to use over a period of many hours... as long as you don't need to chat with anyone.

You can grab the free download of SwitchBlade for WAR off the Switchblade Gaming site. Watch the Warhammer Herald for the latest on WAR.
