Best games with minimal usage of the mouse? (Laptop with trackpad)

Jagged Alliance 2 and the old X-com games. That is if you like turn based strategy.

Hearts of Iron 1/2/3 (go for the mods, vanilla game's combat system is kind of broken; you can easily destroy 9 retreating divisions with a dozen or two of tactical bombers, plus subs are nearly invincible to aircraft carriers).
Any turn based game, or a game that lets you pause and issue commands. I played NWN and KOTOR on the laptop and it didn't turn out too bad.
Games by PopCap, or World of Goo.

Alternatively, you can get a decent wireless laptop mouse for around $15-$20 at any office supply store.

What if you want to play games in bed? - Hang on that doesn't sound quite right... er.. what if you want to be in bed while playing games? (that sounds better right?)

Do what I do: get a hard-cover book and use it as a mouse pad. Remarkably effective so long as the surface of the book doesn't have a mirror surface.

You know I really have tried all that- using pillows I think is easiest- but when it comes to FPSs I would just get so annoyed that I'd end up getting outta bed at like 2am to pwn some people before I could sleep; but KOTOR is just awesome that I can play it anywhere without a mouse!

Yes, well, any PC PvP must be done at a desk with a proper flat surface and chair, otherwise it's just not the same. Hunching over is still optional.
