Thanks for that website it's really helpful! Been trying to find a good site that shows what types of games my computer can run. Don't want to buy a game just to find out it lags like hell.

Lol I tried GTA IV and it lags like crazy! Saved it though in case I decide to upgrade the specs.

Try Minecraft!

I did but it gets boring and repetitive really quick. Not really a game for me.


Ok. How about looking into older PC games? If you don't mind outdated graphics there are a ton of great (and criminally cheap!) games out there, such as Baldur's Gate II.



Just get Morrowind and have a blast with adding mods. You can up the graphics, add in HD textures, improved bodies, animation, etc. The game itself is amazing and you can spend hundreds of hours playing it even without mods.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

My old computer broke recently and I got a new 500$ laptop. The old computer was super shit, so shit in fact that I could barely open steam to see what types of games are available on PC. I have just gotten the hang of pirating games (wonder if ill get banned for admitting to this lol!) and I have tried out a number of games on my new PC. However I DO buy the games after if I can run them properly on my laptop and if i enjoy them. Here are my laptop specs,

Intel Core i3-2350m CPU @ 2.30GHz

Intel HD Graphics 3000 (Mobile)

4 GB RAM DDR3 665 MHz

Give me some good games to try out on this new laptop which I will be able to run with at least lowest settings with very little to no lag at all. I've tried games like Bioshock, CoD 4 (this one lags a bit at times), and Dragon Age Origins. All of these are, of course, at lowest settings because they lag at anything higher. 

Also I know my laptop specs are shit I really don't need everyone telling me something I already know. I plan on improving my graphics card soon but I really don't know shit about computer specs so I don't know what will be the best buy for me.

Diablo 3 is a great game, and is very legacy hardware friendly. You can't upgrade the graphics card in a laptop unfortunately because it is soldered to the logic board. All you can really do is upgrade the hard drive and the RAM.

I really don't mind old games seeing as my computer can't run the newer ones. Recently played GTA San Andreas, Beyond Good and Evil and Hitman Blood Money. I would love to go back and play some games that I was never allowed to as a kid because my parents though they were too violent. 



You can probably run

Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind & IV: Oblivion
Portal
Portal 2
Half-Life and all its content
Half-Life 2 and its episodes
Left 4 Dead
Team Fortress 2
Counter-Strike: Source (not sure about GO)
Braid
Limbo
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Company of Heroes
Any Total War game up until Medieval 2: Total War (I doubt your laptop would be able to run the newer ones)
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Star Wars: Republic Commando
Dragon Age: origins
Trine (possibly Trine 2)
Killing Floor (left 4 Dead-esque)
Psychonauts
League of Legends


Ummm, yeah. List of games worth checking out I know would be able to run on your laptop, more or less. Some may have hicks. Actually, ANY Valve game is really weak-PC firendly, so you might want to start off with them. Valve is like the Nintendo of the PC world, they get really great looking stuff that doesn't require powerful hardware.
