    I work with a Wacon tablet with a pretty decent sized surface. For a laugh I tried playing a game on and was not particularly crazy about it. There's also a battery-free wacom mouse that works with the tablet that I wasn't into.  
     
    I'm curious to try gaming with a Cintiq as I think that would work way better than a tablet.

    I had a buddy who used to play desert combat and other fps games with his wacom tablet...  and he was pretty good too.

    It's possible, even though I never tried it yet. You are still using a cursor on the screen for your aim so it's theoretically possible and very accurate.

    I tried using mine for a few games and it went ok until I actually had to start shooting stuff.  But for more simpler game like puzzle games I think it works great.
