Help I need more lean games to play!

[whoeverxxx]

OK maybe this isn't the section to post this but I beleive its close enough. My problem is that I'm in need of some great games to play on a laptop. I travel alot and my powerfull desktops stay at home, so BF2 is not an option with a laptop containing a 1.3GHZ mobil CPU, 512mb system Ram, and a 64 mb intel videocard.

I just finished Heroes of M&M 4 plus its expansion (Great time killing game) and have been thinking about reinstalling Starcraft and its expansion and maybe even C&C Generals and its expansion providing that one plays good on it. I've played both of them before but its been awhile so maybe I'll find some interest in them again even though I can't see me bonding to old material again real well.

What I'd really like is something new and worthy of my time that can run on a system like mine. Anybody have some suggestions?

GLH, I fixed it, but I'm sure you knew it was just a typo error.

forget c&c generals, i have same system only with 2gh and it still runs poor, (i also run homm 4 + expansion on laptop great game , try emperor: battle for dune or homeworld 1, both in budget realease now and great games

Ahhh forget all of those!! Try 'Serious Sam' for that machine! Its excellent fun! And Luciel will agree to that.
And just for the record, the only reason I say that about 'those' other games is because I just dont get into strategy games!

I'd try Warcraft 3 (I hate RTS games, too but just to mention that there are some of them ), Call of duty, Medal of Honor : Allied Assault, Age of Mythology...
What about FIFA 2003 or PES4? Should run with 1.4Ghz, sure it WILL be ugly but it depends on the fun you have with the game not on the graphics

Luciel Luciel, battle for dune was a great game, thanks for reminding me of that one. It's been years since I played that, hope it runs good on Win XP. c&c generals won't work? I'm glad I mentioned it, now I don't have to go through the hassle of installing it. I've never played Homeworld 1, becuase I over indulged myself on H2 a few months ago so part 1 will probably just take up harddrive space on me until I'm in the mood for a Homeworld game again.

Grumpy, Serious Sam is so good, but I've been there and done that way too much. I like multiplay better for that type of game, and when I'm away from home I only have a trail dial-up AOL connection.

muJi.fiGHt3r, W3 would be so nice, I also have the frozen throne expansion but I'm guessing it will run pretty crappy on my laptop, maybe I'll try it and see what happens.
Call of duty, Medal of Honor : Allied Assault, I'm pretty sure those are going to flop badly on my laptop. AOM is so great but I've over did it on that one big time. Soccer games? I'm from the US, plus sport games seem only fun for me if I can play muliplay. My motel ISP really would be bad for that.


Thanks for the ideas so far everyone! Please keep them coming!

ah man, playing h2 without having completed h1 tottally spoils it, about dune, u sure ure not thinking dune 2000? emperor is from 2001 therefore works on xp
