Touchscreen PC Games?

So, to augment my desktop, I recently bought a refurbed Dell Venue 11 (i5) to use for productivity and surfing the web when I'm on the road. I got bored at a hotel and installed steam and a couple games. (Yay, company paid wifi!) I didn't do anything extreme with it, but I tried some moderately stressful games, and was pleasantly surprised that Civ5 ran well at medium settings, and was very play-able thanks to it's dedicated windows 8 touch interface. Several other games that are actually less hardware intensive (Tropico 3, SoSE) were utterly un-playable thanks to me only having a touchscreen. (it was an overnight trip, I didn't want to check a bag, and haven't bought the dock yet) I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with any other recent games that ARE playable with just a touchscreen, since both Tropico and SoSE were trainwrecks, and Tropico at least, I could have EASILY seen being playable with just a little bit of extra programming.
