    Hey, I'm on holidays and if I'm not out drinking due to severe hangovers I spend the night on the laptop etc, I'm just wondering can anyone recommend any games I can use with the touch pad as it is just too awkward for me to get a mouse. I am getting Warcraft 3 at the moment, any online games I can play without CD key also would be great. All idea's welcome as I have a 20mb connection :D

    Yeah, and Turn based game should do.

    I am playing fallout 2 at the moment, great game even after all these years.

    One game I have always considered BEST on the laptop is Football Manager.

    Of course, you could always just watch some movies :)

    Doom was keyboard only when it came out. Any game can be played without a mouse. Just makes it more challenging :pac:

    Turn based games are really the answer here. I play Civ IV in work sometimes because I can take all the time I need and the touchpad does fine.

    I'm sure in many games you could map the camera view to ijkl or the cursor keys instead of the mouse, might be hard to get used to though!
