Coming from a more console-centric background (though I've always played PC games to some degree all my life), I tend to prefer using gamepads while playing games. However, I do enjoy the ability to customize my PC to make my gaming experiences better. I feel like PC gaming is the superior platform but a lot of people enjoy using gamepads still, and unfortunately there has never been a good compiled list for those who want to see what their options are. So here it is- I've spent a good amount of time on this list. If you have any other games to add to the list or can confirm/deny a game on the list supports gamepads, it would really help a lot.
Just two things I'd like to say before continuing.
1. If you love keyboard and mouse already, great. This list isn't aimed at you. It's not to convince you to start using gamepads. It's to show people what their options are. If you loved Crysis and now somebody else will buy the game because it has gamepad support, everybody wins as it increases sales and will encourage more PC development.
2. If you're happy to see a list but are still uncomfortable with using keyboard and mouse, I highly suggest you read the second post in this thread. I was once in the same boat as you- perhaps my experience and suggestions will help you become more accustomed to using keyboard/mouse to play games that don't natively support gamepads. Trust me, for some of those great games, it's worth learning.
I should mention in posting this list that the original list was compiled by Tycobb on the Afterdawn forums. After some time, he/she stopped updating and then the list was maintained by SpykeZ on the Nforce.nl forums. However, it appears that those forums will be permanently down. I am using Tycobb's original list and trying to restore (and go beyond) SpykeZ's list.
The list will be broken into two sections- games with full gamepad support out of the box (or via official patches) and those that require some unofficial mods/fiddling with .ini files/light usage of 3rd party programs to make it fully usable. While with third party programs it's possible to make *any* PC game support gamepads, I'm referring to using them for small things that round out the experience. Perhaps in the future there could be a separate list of 'games that work well with programs that emulate keyboard/mouse' but not for now.
Key:
*- games personally tested by me/other members of this forum, either demo or full version
(X)- games that should work natively with the Xbox 360 gamepad (therefore menus and key presses will display the correct button instead of a generic 'button 1')
(nothing)- works according to readmes/other sources of information but not confirmed personally

Programs that emulate keyboard/mouse
Xpadder- Xpadder is free, so I personally recommend it. Again, with this list, it will do everything you need.

Switchblade- intended to be used with a 360 gamepad. Haven't tried it personally (but will soon)

Pinnacle GameProfiler- It's a bit more advanced, and if you're serious about using controllers in games that don't support them, it's probably a bit of a better option. You can also download premade profiles for many games. But it is $20...
There you have it- I'll do my best to keep this updated based off what I learn and contributions from other members of the PC Games forum here at Gamespot. Hope at least some people found it useful.

A special thanks to those who contributed:

Mario can't rescue the princess without his Fire Flower. Mega Man can't beat Dr. Wily without his Mega Buster. If you're going to save the world, you need the proper equipment--and a keyboard and mouse just won't cut it. Fortunately, you can get pretty much any mainstream console gamepad working on a PC, so you won't have to shell out megabucks for an X-Arcade TankStick to bring back your gaming glory days.

Current Controllers: Xbox 360, PS3, Wii

First off, if you haven't tried using your Wiimote on your PC, you're missing out. We've got a how-to on using your Wiimote with your PC already, but the abbreviated version is: Get GlovePIE.

Xbox 360 controllers also aren't too tricky to get working, since they're made by Microsoft. If you have one with a USB cable already, it should work when you plug it in, but if you'd rather not be tethered to your PC you'll need to grab an Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver ($25), which will let you use up to four Xbox 360 gamepads and headsets at a time so you can brawl with your buddies.

Stalwart Sony fans will have to install a driver for their PS3 pad--although the pad is automatically detected when you plug it in via USB, it won't work. You can find different homebrew drivers out there, but the most feature-heavy version comes from MotioninJoy, which supports both Sixaxis and DualShock 3 gamepads for Windows XP/Vista/7 (32-bit and 64-bit). MotioninJoy's instructions are a little tricky to follow, but here are the basic steps:

• Download and install the MotioninJoy package.
• Restart your PC, and press F8 during startup (after the BIOS is done loading, but before Windows starts) to open the Advanced Boot Options menu, and pick Disable Driver Signature Enforcement. (Doing this could potentially open up your PC to a security risk, so don't make it a habit.)
• Plug your PS3 pad in.
• Once you're done booting up, open the MotioninJoy folder in your Start Menu, right-click on Install MotioninJoy Driver, and choose Run As Administrator.
• Open the DS3 Tool app from the MotioninJoy folder and start configuring your PS3 gamepad. Bluetooth support is still a little bit shaky, but USB should work fine.

Classic Gamepads: PS2, SNES, Genesis, and Beyond

If you're looking to get your Playstation/Playstation 2 controller working, your best bet is a Playstation-to-USB converter, but if you pick the wrong converter you might notice lag or compatibility issues. The Stepmania.com Wiki has a good listing of these converters (as well as GameCube-to-USB converters), though it's written specifically with Dance Dance Revolution fans in mind.

Just don't grab one without reading a few reviews first. Generally, these will either have manufacturer-supplied drivers included on a disc or for download, and they'll be usable with any HID-compliant game software.

Even the grizzled gamers who just can't bring themselves to play an NES game with a Playstation pad have options. Though a handful of companies make updated versions of classic pads with dimensions similar to the originals, RetroZone caught my eye because it offers adapters for NES, SNES, N64, Atari, Vectrex, and Sega Genesis pads as well as converted NES/SNES USB pads if you don't have your old gear any more. The adapters typically run for about $22, while the pads are in the $35 range.

But what about gamepads for truly vintage legacy games (which might not support HID devices)? No gamepad how-to would be complete without a link to JoyToKey, a freeware utility that lets you take inputs from any USB gamepad and map them to keyboard inputs, so older PC games won't be left out from the action.

All you have to do is download JoyToKey, install it, plug in the gamepads you want to use, and assign each button to your desired keyboard input. It takes a little trial and error (the buttons are typically named unhelpful things like Button 1 and Button 2 instead of X and Y or Square and Triangle), so be prepared to spend a few minutes testing it.
