KOTOR, Defcon, Uplink, Hearts of Iron II, Empire Earth, Stronghold, Civ I-IV. I have a chipset in my laptop and can run all of those with no problem, if you put HL2, TF2 etc. in DX8 and run it with lowest graphical options it runs fine as well.

Buy Plants vs zombies. Very fun.

I have clocked almost 70 hours of that game.

And get all the iD classics, you won't regret it. DooM 1 and 2, Quake 1,2,3, Wolfenstein 3D, Spear of Destiny, Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

Bundle pack on Steam at half price until the 3rd.

no. anything below 9600 gt can't bring the graphics anywhere near acceptable. and any attempt at running it on anything integrated is sad. my friend attempted at a 8400. his com chocked to death.

great game though. but the line of when you can and can't run it is thin as hell and on the good side of it, all is dandy

[coolsiideri]

TES 3 and 4 played them for countless hours.
Also Warcraft 3 on b.net.

[Kwal]

Any Popcap game. Oh, and Geometry Wars.

[Steven Seagul]

Starcraft, Diablo II, and Cortex Command are all good games.

Most source games should work maybe not even on low.

[demonguard]

the intel 4 series isn't too bad, you should be able to play some newer games

[FSL89]

Red Alert 2 should be some hours of fun, atleast. :v:
