I've just bought myself a new Samsung NC10 netbook for a holiday and I wanted to put some games on it for a holiday I'm taking shortly - can anyone recommend me some games that it will run OK??

Cheers,

Old strategy games like Red Alert 1/2, Age of Empires should be quite playable on integrated graphics. Half life should be alright as well, so CS 1.6 etc. would run well if Half Life runs well for you.

Peggle

I'm loving the Peggle idea!!!

Other than that I dont think FPS's is the way to go since the mouse is a tiny beast so not very comfortable for long use!

Any other suggestions??

Cheers,

Yes!

Have a look on steam at indie games, a lot of them should work ok for you.

Trials 2, buy it on steam or without steam, best fiver I've ever spent, over 150 hours racked.

X-Com Apocalypse, you can buy it through Steam and should last you well over 50 hours, probably more.

Another vote for AoE 2 and RA2- classic RTS, maybe look at something old bit no less awesome like Theme Hospital?

I tempted to say Dwarf Fortress, but it actually is quite heavy on CPUs. Not to mention you'd spend all holiday reading dwarfwiki and trying to get your head around it.

What sort of games are you into? Anything turn based is quite good, as don't have to worry so much about framerates and clumsy keyboards/touchpads.

Baldur's Gate.

Brilliant game for passing the time in the car or when you are out. Got it on my Sammy
