Tablet friendly games

For those with Windows tablets (Surface to Linx etc), have you found any enjoyable games that are suited to touch?

I have not tried it as it won't run on my potatoe iPad, but I'm told that Xcom is quite good on tablets. It's cut down from the desktop version obviously with no videos and shinies. Also I'm not sure if you get any of the dlc or expansion content.

Xcom is very good (Note 4)

Unless I am missing something from when I tried it, this needs a keyboard.

I have been playing Shadowrun Returns which works well.

Quite a few games have problems with touch input atleast in fullscreen mode on Windows - some won't even start up due to a problem withnot detecting a keyboard - I've found the better Windows tablets can handle quite a lot of games surprisingly well when hooked upto a keyboard and mouse though.

Yeah, I've got the Lynx Vision. I seriously need to get a bluetooth keyboard/mouse device so that I can set older titles to use the controllers. It's a real pain to try and get a keyboard/mouse connected at the same time as the controller cradle. I've taken a dremmel to one of our OTG cables, and it kind of fits, but is not ideal. I can then use a USB hub to connect. But it isn't a neat sollution. Brilliant little tablet though. It can play Grid, which although old, I had performance issued with a desktop 4850. That a handheld tablet can play that full desktop title is bleedin' incredible.

I'm sure for something like Torchlight it would be great, if only I could get it working with the controller cradle.

Robbie_G, you need to get on the bluetooth kb/m case!!!
