    Default looking for old pc games.

    I am wanting to get some pc games to play on my latop for times when I am not at home.

    Only problem is my laptop is not very powerful.

    the most demanding game I can probably play on it is Doom 3.

    just wonder if anyone has suggestions for good pc games that might run on my laptop. They could be a port from a console too. Anything in general is fine.

    Can't go wrong with some Serious Sam 2. You can probably also run Resident Evil 4. Devil May Cry 3 even, make sure you have a gamepad though. PC controls suck.
