Games that work on laptops?

Achyl

The title is pretty much my exact question. I recently bought an inspiron N5050 by dell, and it has a better cpu than my desktop, but the graphics card is integrated. So, does anyone know what games work well on laptops with integrated graphics? I know LoL runs magnificently!

Nearly any game will run pretty well on Radeon HD 7660G integrated graphics.  You'll be lucky to get many modern games to be playable at all on Intel GMA 945 integrated graphics.  What graphics do you have?

May I also suggest that you're doing this wrong?  You're supposed to first ask for help in what you should buy, and only make a purchase after you have some idea of what to buy.  Buying something at random and hoping it's good usually results in overpaying for inferior hardware.  I don't think Dell has any laptops at all that are reasonable options for gaming, except for some of the models under their Alienware brand name.

I bought this for school, it just happens to have a better cpu than the 5 year old one on my desktop. I was just curious as to what games ran well on my Intel HD integrated graphics. I gave the model of the computer, so I'm not sure what graphics it has, seeing as how that wasn't the reason I bought the computer.

I have the same graphics card. It runs EQ fine for sure, I played EQ f2p for about a month. loved it. I also tried Aion recently. It works ok on low quality settings, but my laptop would get pretty hot after a couple of hours playing it.. I could only play Aion for 2 weeks before becoming completely sick of it. bad game.

Since then, I've been looking for a new game to play. Havent found one yet. :

Oh, and last I tried, while Tribes:Ascend was in beta, I could not play it. I could get into the game and all, but I would get such low fps that I couldnt really do anything. So for any modern day shooting game, I'd suggest you get a better computer. For any modern day mmoRPG, you might be able to run it on lowest quality settings. Go ahead and give it a shot.

WoW quality graphics or worse on low settings.

Well I've played Aion before, I think it's pretty fun. Well, I guess games are just hit and miss from here,
