    Hiya guys,

    Just bought a new laptop and wanted to know if you guys had some ideas of some old games that could play fine on my laptop, basically it's just to past some times on the go, like when im 1 hour in the train, things like that.

    The spec :
    turion x2 2.0ghz
    2 gig ram
    ati x1250
    xp pro.

    I was thinking about the need for speed carbon and kotor, but do you think it would run on it?

    Thank you!

    Peggle makes me nuts it's so fun and challenging!

    It's overly cute but very catchy... You will be clicking "One More game" well past your stop on the train. There is a free trial and it's so addictive you'll buy the game before you get to the end of the trial. ;)

    Games are short, 2-3 minutes. And the only controls are a mouse and mouse button. Touchpad works great. It's a low speed game that requires very little of you. Just point, and click.

    Best puzzle game in PC gamer 2007 & 2008 and has it listed as the #40 in the Top 50 games of all time.
    MSNBC rated it as one of the top 5 most addictive games of all times.

    Whoever listed Peggle as #40 in the Top 50 games of all time needs to be castrated.

    I like Peggle as a fun side-game in Steam, but it can't be compared to the other games on that list, including: HalfLife 2 and expansions, Bioshock, Civilization 4, CoD2, and CoD4.
