    I've been on netbook gaming kick lately. I've been hitting up good old Star Craft, Diablo II, and (barely) URT 2004 (for some reason my 03 play disk doesn't like my netbook)

    SO what are YOU playing???

    Age of Empires II, it makes for an awesome LAN or Internet game via Hamachi.

    Mostly N64 emulation, but Quake 3 Arena is also sweet. I haven't had a chance to test it out yet, but I wanna see how Battlefield Heroes and Quake Live work on it.

    My friend have a netbook and he is proud to tell me that he's playing WOW, warcraft III, Dota, red alert and others. It's quite amazing how this little 'guy' can load those games... But I still love my desktop PC. =)

    I used to play lots of games on my Flipstart and Everun Note Netbooks until I got my NP8662. Now along with my Xbox 360, Psp and NDS and my Netbook, all of them are history.

    I don't have a Netbook any longer but when I studied at a university I had one of these ultra small laptops and I found it very hard to study with one. It was even harder to play games on it so for two whole days I played Tibia before I decided to stop playing games on Netbooks because it's hard :D

    SNES, PS1, N64 emus, Ghost recon, Trials 2 SE, StarCraft, Postal2, and DeusEX are what I have installed on it, and a few of the indie games on my steam account. It's a great device since the thing can actually fit in my pocket, and can play games for about 5+ hours on a single charge.
