Mouse Only Games?

Greetings, I'm looking for some suggestions for some good games that you only need the mouse to play, since my other hand has gotten crippled and I will most likely need surgery to fix it. Any and all suggestions would be welcome. Most of the games I can think of I have already played recently, like Planescape, Baldur's Gate(12), Heroes Of Might and Magic, Kings Bounty, and the list goes on but it is tiring to write with one hand only.

there is another option that may be worth considering. I use a Razer Naga myself which in addition to the normal three buttons contains two extra and a 12 button keypad for the thumb. it takes a little getting used to but makes a good alternative for keyboard keys. there's also other mice with many additional buttons so the Naga isn't the only option

That is not really a option where I live, since I would have to import it from some place like the UK and it would cost a small fortune to import+ everything gets taxed that I buy outside of the country. And my hand would probably be fixed by the time it arrives :p

I imagine that turn based games would be more suitable, but apart from [url="http://www.heroicfantasygames.com/"]the Knights of the Chalice[/url], I can't think of any RPG sporting that mechanic being released in the last couple of years.
Heroes of Might and Magic series is an option, or perhaps [url="http://www.elementalgame.com/"]Elemental - War of Magic[/url], or even Civilization series (there are even some [url="http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=171398"]fantasy themed modifications for Civ 4[/url] out there).

Good to see that the debilitation isn't permanent.

Thanks for the suggestions, I decided to give Knights Of The Chalice a try and it seems pretty fun so far, might also give Civ5 a try, it has been sitting gathering dust for some time.
