    Get a Wii.

    You don't need fingers for that. You just swing the yoke

    i snapped my left wrist badly when i was younger but luckily the thumb and middle finger still worked fine, so could play n64 while in the cast for 4 weeks!

    and all fingers are covered by cast .

    did try and add movement buttons to mouse as in walk forward jump and reload...but it was just not the same

    I always manage to break my thumb or wrist around christmas. My advice is that turn based JRPGs are your friend since you only need 1 hand.

    right so *jots this down* don't break bones... gotcha.

    Fractured both of my thumbs on a snowboarding holiday (don't ask). Just played PC games when I got back, thumbs aren't really a necessity when using KB&M

    A friend of mine broke his arm back in the nes days, yet was still able to beat us at every game in California Games. Luckily i never broke anything.

    If you're prone to breaking your hand, pick up Bayonetta when it's released it has 1 handed play in it.



    Thankfully I've never broken hand nor wrist. Just my arms and legs (not at the same time)

    Bull****. Pick up an RPG or something - you sound like you've never played monkey island.

    I remember I badly burnt my hand when I was a kid, it was in bits. Couldnt use it for a few days but still managed to play the 1st gran turismo on the ps1 by remapping the buttons :pac:

    Dude. Powerglove.

    Broke a finger once, had a BF2 match the next day. Played right through. Dead hard, me.

    Get fixed soon.

    Get yourself one of these then...

    Will take a fair bit of training but I'm told the feeling of controlling a game via your thoughts are just mind blowing when you eventually get it going good.

    You could also take up playing world of warcraft and just play a warlock, you only really need to roll your face around your keyboard to win.
