So, today i was playing football, when i couldn't get a right grip on the ball.
The result was a tear in my articular capsule on the left hand.
My doctor says i have to wear a cast for two weeks, which means i can't use the normal wasd-control, or a gamepad for my games.
So i ask you people, are there any good games you recommend me which i can still play?
My favorites are RPG's, Point-and-Click stuff, pretty much anything that isn't only gray, gritty, realistic, chest high wall stuff.

Plants vs Zombies. It's on Steam and most phones. Mouse only. It won't last two weeks, but would make it more bearable. $9.99 CAD I believe. Very fun.

Fallout 1 and 2 are point and click computer RPGs. Availble in a pack for $20.00 CAD off steam, and I have seen some stores carrying it recently, both come with Fallout Tactics. Old as hell, has VERY heavy RPG elements, mainly text dialogue, and requires some tweaking to work on Windows 7. (OT: If anyone has either on W7, and the color is screwed, PM me. Have a patch that was hell to find.)

World of Goo. Puzzle building game, kind of like Armadillo Run if you've ever played it. Also on Steam, $9.99 CAD.

The original Fallout you can just use a mouse and that's a good game. Also welcome to the Escapist I see your relativity new hope you find the community enjoyable.

Another one: only played the demo, but it was great. Machinarium. Again Steam. Again 19.99. Point and click adventure game.

Point and click adventure games for you... Beneath a Steal Sky and The Curse of Monkey Island are both good... also Total Distortion is worth a look...

Oh and Dragon Age you can play completely with a mouse as well as most older RPGs like Baldur's Gate...

..Ouch. Hope that isn't too painful. Get well soon.

As luck would have it, I've already given a list of games playable with one hand for much the same reason to... three people on this site before, I think? I can PM it to you if you like.

Machinarium's only $9.99. I adore it, but $19.99 would be a little too much for how short of a game it is.

Seriously OP, check it out.

Audiosurf only requires a mouse, and if you have a large music library on your computer it'll last you a good while. $10 on steam (I think, I bought it ages ago).

Actually, Fallout 1 and 2 are on sale on Good Old Games (gog.com) for three US dollars right now, up until July 4th. Fallout Tactics is the same price, along with most, if not all, Interplay games. Best of all, they're made to work with all OS's, including Windows 7!

OT: Check out the Civilization games. If I remember correctly, you can play the entire game using only the mouse.

KOTOR one, maybe two, can be played with only a mouse. And Civi IV and V are clickers.


When did machinarium go to 9.99? I was looking at it last week when I was getting the F.E.A.R. Pack, and it was 19.99. Good thing I didn't get it then. ^.^

OT: Is anyone playing Diablo II on Windows 7? There is no video when the between section animations are playing on mine.
