Tomb Raider: Legend and Anniversary may permit the use of an XBox360 controller, but neither one requires that the XInput DLL be present on the target machine, and both will run on Win2k. I don't have a source for this info, though. --DachannienTalkContrib 02:49, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

That's ok, since they weren't added with a source either. Feel free to make the edit as long as it is in good faith. Ham Pastrami 17:33, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Just because a game runs without XInput installed, doesn't mean the game doesn't use XInput if it is there. Any sane programmer would check the existance of the XInput dll at runtime rather than statically linking to it. Carl Kenner 06:52, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
True, a game that uses XInput needn't require it, though this is the only real point of interest for the topic. I'm ok with renaming the article to be more precise (e.g. "List of games that require XInput"), though this is already specified in the article body. I'm also ok with splitting the list into uses/requires. Regardless, unsourced claims can be removed by anyone, as a matter of policy (WP:PROVEIT). Ham Pastrami 00:39, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
