Games that use the mouse.....?

what about Trackmania you could use your mouse hand for the arrow keys as that is all you need really. Plus its free.

C&C, LOTR, Civilisation, CM, FM I have all of these but would like to know what other games are worth purchasing.

Thanks in advance.

I assume you mean games which use a mouse as its primary control method?

Frozen Synapse does, is a solid game too.

Would probably hold off for if/when the Steam sales start.

I didn't want to say "I cant use a keyboard for a few weeks due to a broken arm so what games only use the mouse" as a thread title but I see I will have to be that specific from now on!! Geez

Well, nothing wrong with being honest, just saying "games I can play with one hand" would have helped.

also, I'd like a list of games that require eyes.

Cheers.

ROFL

I play all my games with my eyes closed, anyone who plays against me will agree.

Gareth170 only uses a mouse, plays anything he likes.

Ligament damage to my thumb otherwise I would be all over myxbox and PS3!!!

I better be on the mend for Battlefield 3!!!!

Might wanna fully star that out before a mod gets narky after an uncomfortable summer nights sleep.

Pretty much the only games that use only the mouse are RTS. Some indie/casual games will do too like Peggle and Bejewled.

Cheers chaps, very helpful.

And what sort of response would that have really received

Company of Heroes (buy the 'Gold Edition' on Steam)

Fantastic game, there are keyboard keys to use, but I never use them, the mouse can do it all

I loved all the old C&C games, this is the next step up imo.

Absolutely huge game

I've had it since release day and still play it regularly

Being sarcastic I wouldn't mind but just giving the first thing that pops into your head as a response is not acceptable.

There's an awful lot of chucking the toys out of the pram here lately. Especially when people ask silly questions with no information given. That is not acceptable

Broken Sword 1-3

I'd love a MIB style brain eraser so I could play them again for the first time...

GIBURROWS · 28 Jun 2011 at 09:37

Starcraft 2 and Company of heroes, Check! Thank you kindly for all the help.

FINALLY, I'm glad someone took a bite on that.

Bah, Company of Heroes is seriously lacking in orcs, lasers and spawn of chaos. Get Dawn of War instead, much more entertaining.

I think you can get away with just using the mouse for Frozen Synapse. Maybe Zombies vs Plants too

Kosmiche · 28 Jun 2011 at 09:51

You can use just mouse in Dawn of War 2, but you would have to be pretty dexterous.

Just purchased Shogun 2, company of heroes gold edition and starcraft 2, now has anyone got any good excuses to call in sick?

or even Plants vs Zombies

You can actually play a lot of racing games with just the arrow keys so maybe look at picking up some cheap ones it might not be as good as a wheel or controller but you still get to play and it isn't impossible could either go for the newer games like Dirt 3 and Shift 2 or some older ones such as Dirt 2/1, Shift, Test Drive etc.

Lock the door and close the curtains

They games will last you a while Starcraft 2 is very addictive! You will most likely still play it a lot after you feel better.
