You mean to your PC? Yeah that'll work greatly, I think both of those games will support it flawlessly. Just go to. http://www.gamesforwindows.com/ and download the drivers and you are ready to go.

In vista is plug & play, but in XP you need to download the drivers.

For the wireless controller I'm pretty sure you need the MS 360 receiever for Windows. Not sure if there's a workaround, just went out and bought one myself without experimenting.

I got it for RE4, and it works great and imo is the best pad on the market, but I don't see why you'd wan't it for those games, especially UT3. You'll probably be at a noticable disadvantage playing online.

to use a wireless xbox pad on the pc you need the following.

and either drivers for xp, but plug and play for vista. whichare not for the pad, pad is plug and play, the reciever isnt and it will work in GoW fine, but UT3 youll have to play about with it. Personally - board and mouse FTW.
