Deci pls go
I think it's a shit game too but you asked for games that could be playable on a laptop and Minecraft is probably one of the few that run on above serviceable levels.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
I personally prefer the game where you buy a better computer.

You might be able to run Half Life (and 2) if you modify the Direct X settings (Enter "-dxlevel 81" or even 70 to reduce the strain from the game properties...if you have Steam), and CounterStrike Source if you keep the settings low.

Steam-independent games are probably better for your laptop considering the low RAM, so I'd check out any games made pre-2005-ish tops.

Though with that setup you won't be able to play a 1080p video without stuttering. Oh, and don't expect ANY of these to run at 60fps, more around the mid 20's if you're lucky.
This. All of this.
Like I said, I didn't buy this for gaming. I'm going to be getting a custom made tower eventually for that. I'm just wondering what I can play on this.

Also, I used to play Half-Life and CSS all the time on my 12 year old tower. Pretty sure I can run those games with medium settings, but maybe the videocard is my problem.

From experience on my previous laptop, it almost certainly is the gpu.

Lowering the software level of DirectX lowers the graphics levels further than just having stuff on med/low settings, at the cost of fighting smudgy blobby polygons.
