Windows 8 is supposed to have drivers for the Xbox 360 controller, but for some reason your machine might not. When you plug it in do the lights flash? Because that's a sign that the controller is working, and it's the games problem for not woking with the controller. If nothing happens when you plug it in, go here and download and install the driver. You usually need to go into the games settings to enable gamepad control, most games don't automatically detect a controller. If you have a wirelesscontroller plugging it in with the charge cable will do nothing, all the cable does is charge it. Third party controllers don't usually work, you have to use the official Microsoft one. If it still doesn't work I would recommend getting used to mouse and keyboard, most people who use it regularly say it works better than gamepads, especially in first person games.
