Looking a little to the future here, but once you're out of a cast GameCube pads are the perfect angle for comfortable gaming with a busted wrist (from experience), so something along those lines?
Games I can play with broken wrists

Advance Wars or Fire Emblem both come highly recommend as chill take your time games. You just direct your troops, give an order, and then finalize the decision, so there's two levels at which you can cancel if you make a mistake. I'd also recommend the Monkey Island ports of 1 and 2 for PSN / Xbox Live / PC. Both very fun and you can even play them one handed a lot of the time.
Not sure what exactly having a broke wrist entails. What exactly can you not do anymore?Blazing Steel said:
fable three? bioshock? kingdoms of amalur? you could probably complete most of those without a head, let alone broken wrists.
Diablo II/III perhaps?
You pretty much just have to lay your hand on the keyboard and mouse and the hands do the rest. You'll move the mouse a bit, but after some checking my wrist was still. Don't know if it might still hurt though.

pokemon games. I broke my right arm once, learned to play pokemon with only one hand, isn't hard. just a bit slower paced. Depending on the console, you could possibly play a jrpg?
Both wrists broken, that sucks, hopefully you'll be able to do something...

I would advise something turn-based, maybe you'll find a liking to it 
Fallout 1 and 2 are fun and don't require any fast hand movements, and if you're willing to try out turn-based strategy then Heroes of Might and Magic or The Disciples are also fun games.

Someone beat me to mentioning HoMM?dangoball said:
Kudos.
Yes, Heroes of Might and Magic is your best friend with broken wrists. I broke both of mine snowboarding when I was a kid and those games helped me through the painful process.
(Pro tip: HoMM 3 is the best, so start there.)
Don't even.Daystar Clarion said:
Try older JRPGs with completely turn-based battle systems. I advocate Dragon Quest V.
Well, when I broke my wrist, I could still use my thumbs. If that's the case with you, you can still play anything that uses a traditional controller.

You don't use your wrists when you use a controller unless you're playing on the Wii, so any console game should be fine.
