Do all PC games work with joysticks?

If you plan to buy a joystick for windows 8 then first thign when you buy one look at the "will work for" at the bottom of the box, they should tell you if they would work for W8

Another thing is that if you buy one for pc, yes you can use it for any game, since the joystick or most of them lets you remap what the buttons do, but this is not recommended for all game since some joysticks have a limited number of button (around 2-4) and some games can use varied number of keys depending on the game.

If you do plan to get one games that would be good for joystick would be fighting games and side scrolling shooters

A joystick or activity pad isn't activity particular. If the video games helps a joystick, it is going to say so on the field and any joystick will artwork. the activity can even have an option to map the buttons.

No, all PC games don't work fully with joysticks. You will find all details at description.

1. Nope. You need to look closely at the game and see if will run on W8.

2. Nope. The game description will tell.
