OK since this thread's already made I don't need to make one.
I have a laptop with pentium cpu .. 2.16ghz - 2.17 ghz (just reading this off of controlpanel.system) , 4 gb ram, vista home.
My video card though is not a video card, its a built in display device; it's utter shit. it is a "mobile intel 4 series express chipset family".
I tried playing fallout 3 and it didnt run. I tried crysis, it ran, but it moved a mile a minute.
Can you recommend me games that are not high demanding, graphics wise but are still playable please. I like any genre, except sports. well, exaggeratedly unreal sports games are fine.
FPS recommendations:
The original Call of Duty and Medal of Honor games and expansions should run on that. If do don't mind WW2 shooters. Medal of Honor gets kind of repetitive in the second half. Though I haven't played any of its 3 expansions. Doom 3 and its expansion might run, though it also gets repetitive, probably a game you should play in hour long chunks otherwise you get bored. Jedi Academy is pretty fucking awesome and should run. Same with Pariah (which I thought was better than what the critics gave it credit for)
Rogue Trooper Might run as well. Its a pretty fun 3rd person shooter.
If you are up for survival horror there is always the Silent Hill series. The first you'll need to run with an emulator and the latest one would probably be too demanding (plus its buggy as hell), but 2 and 3 are pretty good and are on PC.
Couple more:
All the past generation GTA games should run fine as they are not very demanding. Knights of The Old Republic should also run, but I imagine you've played that already.
