Windows 7: Which game controllers will work on new games?

I want to buy a controller that will work with new games that requires Xbox 360 wired controller. I bought a cheap Chinese controller but it works on games prior the year 2007. New games like Borderlands, Call of Duty cannot be played with this controller. I saw Logitech F310 controllers which looks good but not sure if it works on these games. Please tell me which games can be played with controllers.

call of duty wont work with any controller, its built for use with a mouse and keyboard.
However there is a soloution to get cod to work with xbox360 controller , installl pinnacle and download a cod profile. this has the gamepad buttons mapped and will play as if playing cod on the xbox ( with a controller)

there are a few games that dont use gamepads and so there are profiles for them also.
its not free.

there is a trial but it stops the game profile working after 10 mins or so.
