And no angry birds, too much of it. It's on my phone, browser, PC everywhere!! uff!

 

[boogeyman]

[1]. Frozen Synapse

[2]. Super Meat Boy

[3]. There are lots of good Nintendo 64, SNES, NES , PS, Dreamcast games which should run perfectly. You can try out the various emulators.

Plant vs Zombies...

i found it way better than angry birds

 

[comp@ddict]

Yeah I've played soldat, sadly didn't like Plants v/s Zombies.

Frozen Synapse is something I've been tracking for 1.5 years now, know it well and through. But it's genre is simply not my type.

Ooooo... Another brilliant game which spawned so many flash look-alikes: Elastomania

Plants v Zombies and World of Goo are the two of the best cheap standalone games of ALL time. Love them both dearly.

I found this fun when I played it a while back. Metarcritic score 80/100.

However, based on the games you mentioned it might not be your cup of tea. Have a look at the in game trailer on the Steam page. Its on sale atm for just $2.49 - and well worth IMO.

Osmos

System requirement is mentioned as "3D graphics card with OpenGL support. Minimum resolution 800x600". Think your system should run this fine...

Another game you can consider is Gish (Metacritic 80/100 & also IGF 2005 Grand Prize Winner).

Also try Proun . Read about it here

 

[nanoneo]

How about the more action oriented games?

Something like the Alien shooter series or the Zombie Shooter Series. I play these two from time to time on my old latptop.

You could also get the ZSNES or the Sega emulator and play those old 32 bit games. I end up playing the good ol streets of rage or mario at least once a year.

 

[comp@ddict]

Haha no, sorry guys I hate isometric games.

Try this puzzle game called Armadillo Run. Check out some videos for the game on youtube.
