    There are wireless models and wired versions that have a usb connector.
    You'll either need to buy a wired controller, or buy the wireless adapter if you already have a wireless one.

    Just to confuse you...

    The wireless device your looking for is called the Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows. There is an accessory called the Official XBox 360 Wireless Adaptor too - but that's for something else entirely.

    You could just go for the Official Xbox 360 Wired Controller which plugs straight in to the PC. all you have to do then is download the drivers for it and you're away. (I think that play.com have the cheapest wired controllers)

    You "can" use an Xbox 360 controller... but Bioshock is a FPS. Keyboard and mouse would be its natural control method.
