    Hey,
    Recommend me a game to play about with on me laptop.

    specs are:
    Intel Pentium M 740 @ 1.8 GHz
    512MB DDR2 RAM
    60GB HDD
    128mb onboard graphics.

    Not great, but I'm sure theres some good games I can play on it. Maybe Halo 1? I'm playing StarCraft at the moment too but I've played that a good bit so looking for something else, maybe a FPS like battlefield or Call of Duty, except with lower specs...

    Anyway, thanks in advance for any help with curing my boredom!!

    halo 1 and HL1 would should run fine on that machine. What genres are you into? Do you play online?

    Call of Duty but play it online too. Medal of Honour:Allied Assault is pretty class online & off.
    Football Manager 2008.
    Beyond Good & Evil.
    Tribes:Vengeance.
    Max Payne 1 & 2:The fall of Max Payne.
    No One Lives Forever 1&2.
    Unreal Tournament 2004.
    Deus Ex.
    Psychonauts might work, depends on which integrated card you have. You can check here: http://www.psychonauts.com/cards.htm
    Also I agree with magick's sentiments about Undying - it is The ****.
    Alien v Predator 1 & 2.

    FM08 might be a bit slow on 512K. Second Max Payne and NOLF though.
    Maybe some of the earlier Thief games too?

    I'm playing FM08 on a 1.6GHz with 1GB RAM and its ok but I'd agree that the demo should be tried first. Thief games yes! They're class as well. Also Command and Conquer:Red Alert 2.

    Odd that noone has mentioned System Shock 2 yet...

    Whats System Shock?

    I used to play Quake III Arena in college and a bit of Unreal Tournament. They were OK.
    I preferred RTCW Multiplayer though, or Enemy Territory, mainly coz its more army-esque!

    I like the idea of C&C coz i had Red Alert 2 on old PC. Must see if i can dig it out.

    I dont suppose Burnout 3 would work on them specs? or maybe a NFS game?

    and FM games, i think they're OK but i've rarely gotten into them too deeply!

    i dunno what genre im looking for. I'm gonna be doing travelling so I'll probably want a few games. That Irish horror FPS seems like a sure thing, if for nothing but the novelty factor!! Is it like an Irish RE:4? haha
