Looking for some nice games to play which don't require an actual mouse or an uber video card. I have a pretty powerful Haswell lappy with touchscreen and HD 4000 gfx.

Doesn't mater if games are old or new, but lets not mention Doom, Hexen, Blood or Wolfenstein.. That's a bit too old. And I played them all.

Hopefully this thread will help not only me, but others as well.

I'll start:

1)Heroes of Might and Magic 3. (kinda needs mouse at times but doable without)
2)King's Bounty
3)Disciples 1 and 2 (again, better with mouse but doable)
4)LIMBO, Braid, Super Meatboy.
5)Classic Grand Theft Auto (GTA1&2), Classic Tomb Raider, Silent Hill 2 + 3
6)Probably any racing game....

Corrected title. I must have been smoking something last night.(not) Off course I know the difference between a mousepad and touchpad!

You mean trackpad friendly games?

Pretty much anything that works well on a touch screen is okay for a track pad. Also games that predominantly use they keyboard.
Turn based strategy and RPGs
City builders (like SimCity 4) are okay
Adventure games

I have a friend who plays FO3 on his laptop. He has a big belly and actually uses it (his belly) as a mousepad.

I play Fallout 3 on a laptop, cause even if you don't know how to aim a gun with a touchpad you can still use VATS.

I just found out who the android really is, you'll never guess!

Xcom with the new expansion has a touch-friendly mode. Starcraft II is also playable with a trackpad.

Both should run alright with an Intel HD4000, as long as you don't go for 1080p and max settings.

Pretty much anything that isn't 1st/3rd person or a twitchy game will work. As long as you can stand turning settings down/off.
