What games will run on a laptop? Just finished Half-Life 2

[glen]

Bioshock gets great press, and the DEMO runs on my laptop.
Any other good, but slightly older (and therefore lower graphics requirements) games out there?

Well, I game on my laptop and I can run most modern games fine.

There's a wide variety of laptop specs out there - some of the newer ones outperforming consumer-grade desktops. (Edit) Meaning: you might be better served if you post your laptop model/specs and we may be able to tell you what may/may not run smoothly on your system.

But, assuming you can run Half Life 2 fine, I'd recommend some of the more "Indie" titles or older ones as there are plenty of great games out there - or even other games running the source game engine (same engine running Half Life 2).

- If you're looking for single player, Portal is very, very good; and a sequel is coming out soon.
- Multiplayer you can do no wrong with Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike: Source.

- You can probably play this one one your laptop: and some may say that this is a terrible game, but I did rather enjoy myself playing Doom 3 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein (not the Wolfenstein remake that came out on 2009, didn't play that one)

- Torchlight is a lot of fun, doesn't have very high requirements

- Revenge of the Titans is a fun game: top down, stylized 2D graphics

So on and on.

I played FEAR on a laptop first; it was decent.

I play Starcraft 2, Shogun Total War 2 and Supreme Commander 2 just fine on my new laptop. Obviously not max settings, but mid settings.

Well... what laptop?? ah heck all will run on mine, it barely gets 30 fps with league of legends on lowest settings...

If you got dual 6970m's in your laptop everything will run on it.
