    I don't know if it has the graphics capability, but City of heroes is well under the graphic level of say World of Warcraft and that runs fine. The only snag is it says it needs specific grafic cards, here are the requirements:

    Pentium III 800 Mhz or AMD 800 MHz; 256 MB RAM; quad-speed CD-ROM; 2 GB hard drive space; Geforce 2 series or ATI Radeon 8500 series video card; 16-bit sound card; 56K modem.

    As you can see there not demanding, but want opinion before getting MacBook.

    The minimum specs probably mean that the game needs graphics cards of those levels or above, not that the game needs those specific video cards.
