Playing videogames without arms or hands? (self.disability)

My best friend broke both of his arms and wrists, and will have zero use for 3-4 months. I'm trying to figure out some way for him to play videogames while recovering. Maybe some kind of foot controller? A mouth controller?

He's feeling miserable from the pain and I know that gaming would take his mind off of it.

Please let me know if you have any ideas.

I have some experience using Tobii eye trackers [1] as a mouse input replacement. It integrates quite nicely with windows and allows playing anything mouse controlled that is not too hectic.
