Going to test out Double Action: Boogaloo. I'll give a small review in a bit!

EDIT: Oh my goodness that game is funny as hell. Basically random slow-mos and a bunch of people jumping and sliding around. And it runs smoothly!

Old Battlefields or Call of duties may run if your into them.

Call of Duty 1, Call of Duty 2.... they wont have nearly the same size multiplayer community as when it was released (Obv) but the campaigns are fun. Even Call of Duty 4 may work. I have that installed on my Lenovo laptop that has a onboard video card, and it runs.

Could also try out some older Battlefield series. There are a ton of them. BF2 was my fav.

If your looking to try a newer game. Free to play.... maybe give Archeage a try... its an MMO that is F2P(Also can pay monthly)

You wont be able to play on high detail, but shit, I run on Normal detail on my computer and could care less.

-Also the CS:GO zombie mods are alot of fun. I always played those when I had nothing else to do.

I tried DOTA 2 a while ago and it wasn't my thing? I might have to give it another shot.


I tried CS:Nexon Zombies and the whole game should just be shut down. It's horrid.

Elsword runs fine and so does RoR. I have a few friends that I can play with on those but it's still not the FPS look. :(

Game has a huge learning curve.... knowing characters, how to play them and when to use what... is quite the challenge in DOTA 2. Its sad if your new, you just get owned by people who have been playing longer. I wasn't into the game personally... but I can see how it can be fun and competitive if you have 10 players for example who have been playing and understand things.

The items in game only confuse me more lol.

Slight necro and update!

I figured out power consump on all my tvs/monitors and blah blah. Tried 1080p gaming on my laptop and it works! I'm guessing it's the bigger load on the GPU and less on the CPU.

Skyrim - no issues.

Just Cause 2 - no issues.

Dragon Age: Origins - runs better than before.

Burnout: Paradise - looks and runs better.

Killing Floor - All around better.

I'm tempted to get L4D2 again and try it, but that's a "afk for two hours" download as my PERSONAL bandwidth is limited.
