    Default Has anybody here gamed on Windows tablets?

    Just curious how it would work. I play a lot of Crusader Kings 2 and some Civ 5, and I hear the tablets can run these games pretty easily. I'm more wondering about the interface though. These are slow paced games that would be perfect for kicking back on the couch with, as long as I can get away with no mouse/keyboard...

    I'd suspect a lot comes down to the video card hardware in the system and the processor like any other computer

    I have a surface pro, first gen and I play RTS games on them all the time but I find using strictly the pen or your finger may be a pain at times. It may be better suited for a slower paced game like Civ.

    Does the pen handle left click/right click alright?

    Yes, the pen is designed with a button where your thumb could easily press. With the button pressed down, any pointing you do will act as a right click. Release it for a left click. And if you want to use the pen for say, OneNote, to take notes and such, the other "button" on the other end of the pen, when pressed down, will act like an eraser.
