Looking for PC games

[bigmak93]

I;m bored all the time on my laptop and I wanted the escapist community to help me find some games I can play. I don't care if they are old as long as I can run it.

Sys. info:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
CPU:Intel Celeron 900@2.20Ghz~2.2Ghz
Memory: 4096MB RAM
Hard Drive: 320GB internal/500GB external
Video Card:Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family

Ugh, another intel video card. With those specs, your best bet is to hit up Good Old Games and see if any of the old stuff strikes your fancy. You would be good for stuff up til fairly recently if it weren't for that Intel video card. Those things are notorious for being the worst integrated cards around, and with the reputation integrated cards have as a whole, it's saying something.

You honestly won't be able to run very much, I'm stuck in the chipset 4 group as well and I can't run much besides run Warcraft 3, Trine, Angry Birds and some other really low graphical games.

Minecraft.

 

[Link XL1]

robot arena 2, any bethesda or bioware game, starcraft 1, minecraft (the sooner you buy it the cheaper it is)

starcraft 2 is also good, idk if you can run it with that vid card though

 

[AmbitiousWorm]

dawn of war and all its add-ons

dawn of war 2 and all its add-ons/sequels

 

[SteelWolf89]

play STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl, with the STALKER Complete 2009 mod.

you may die repeatedly, but do not give up, for you will never have as much fun in another FPS/RPG for as long as you live. (i'm looking at you Fallout 3/New Vegas)

Single core CPU and integrated GPU?

Nothing much from the past few years.

My laptop has the same video card so that games I tested...
You can play Bioshock in it... It will have some frame rate issues in some parts, but is playable in the minimun settings.
Stalker: Shadows of Shernobyl is also playable in the minimun, I don't know if will have frame rate issues with that one though, never got too far in it.
And some Valve games I played with that same video card are Left 4 Dead, Portal and Half Life 2 (I bought Left 4 Dead 2, but haven't tested yet) all run normaly in the MINIMUM setting.


If you are looking for something more recent games then is best to seek another videocard... It's fairly cheap, don't need a Geforce Series Over 9000 Super Dobby Doo edition or whatever, a Geforce 8600 should do it for most games today...

Altitude
Madballs in Babo Invasion
Half-Life 2?

GOG is your best for games that you know will run on those specs. Though there are a few old games on GamersGate, and other retailers to. Some recommendations are:

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines
Painkiller Black
Outcast
Fallout 1 and 2
Baldur's Gate 1 and 2
Planescape: Torment
Psychonaut
Deus Ex
Amnesia: The Dark Descent (On low settings)
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
Sanitarium
The Longest Journey

 

[ScumbagEddie]

Any of the MechWarrior/MechCommander games, all the older Fallout games, Planescape, Dawn of War (except Soulstorm, which sucked ass), any older Command and Conquer games

Definitely the Thief series

 

[octafish]

Freespace 2, X-Com: UFO Defense, Planescape: Torment, The Longest Journey, Beyond Good and Evil, Psychonauts, Jagged Alliance 2. If you can get your hands on a joystick (a real joystick not an Xbox controller), and Crimson Skies (still available over the counter in Australia at least) then you will have a lot of fun.

 

[Freechoice]

Crysis 2. Using the advanced configuration utility, max out the settings. You'll run it at about half an FPS.
