Laptop games

Sorry, I know this has been done before, but can anyone recommend some good games that'll work on my 640m?

Decent processor but rubbish onboard graphics.

Cheers.

I'll say Uplink before anyone else does just because it's gonna pop up eventually when the words laptop and games are in the same thread.

Am after the same myself. Maybe a good point and click game.

Any suggestions?

What are the integrated graphics? GMA950?

You could get away with Half Life 2, I just installed it on my laptop with the same graphics and it runs, not bad... Obviously on low, but still.

Dawn of War, Red Alert 2, etc... They are always good for a laugh.

Broken sword series if you havent played them already!

Grim Fandango is a cracking point and click game, ive just started replaying it!

Call of Duty and Call of Duty United Offensive

You will need a proper mouse though!

Cheers for the suggestions - my integrated graphics are 945GM so nothing spectacular.

So far, I've tried System Shock II which crashes and Armadillo Run which runs fine (you'd hope so!)

Its so good too to be able to play them on onboard graphics

My laptop has Ati's X300 mobile 128mb in it, so i get to play pretty much any PC game

(maybe not on full settings, but playable nonetheless) </shameless bigup>

Basically any 2D game would work fine on it, but keep the reciepts just in case
