What are some solid games that I can play on an Intel G3100?

No nef posts please...

I'm sorta confined to playing games on my best laptop and not my gaming rig for now. Specs:

IBM Thinkpad T61
Intel T7500 (Core2 2.2ghz, 4MB L2, 800FSB, OC's to 2.4ghz when plugged in)
2GB DDR667 Dual Channel
Intel 965 chipset w/ Onboard G3100 GPU. 384mb max.
15.6" 1680x1050 LCD.
XBOX 360 Wired Gamepad
Windows XP 32-bit

My CPU could play nearly all games on high if it was attached to a decent GPU. I don't mind playing older games at lower resolutions. Here is what i've been playing:

Torchlight
NBA Live 2004 (1280x1024, medium runs fine)
Defense Grid (720x480, all low is mostly playable)
Braid runs ok
80 classic atari games runs fine
World of Goo (perfect)

So, what other games should I be considering?

You just nailed my two best suggestions (Torchlight and Defense Grid)

In a similar vein how about Plants Vs. Zombies. A more laid back and humorous Tower Defense style game for cheap.

The old classics like UFO:Enemy Unknown (or X-COM: UFO Defense if you're American) or X-COM: Terror from the Deep are cheap from Steam and could be worth considering, especially if you have never played them.

Baldur's Gate if you haven't played it before!

If you like RPGs I would suggest some oldies such as: Baldur's Gate 2, Planescape: Torment, Arcanum, Divine Divinity, Fallout 1 +2, Icewind Dale 1 + 2

Deus Ex!

Seriously, PC Gamer recently upgraded it to be their #1 PC game of all time. Half-Life came third.

Starcraft?

Warcraft III and Diablo II. Still great games.

Torchlight and Defense Grid were going to be my #1 and #2 suggestions as well.
