Any good laptop games?

With that laptop you can almost play everything.

StarCraft, Half-Life 2, BioShock, Grand Theft Auto up to San Andreas, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Unreal Tournament 2004, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1+2, the Sims 1+2, Age of Empires II, No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way, Dragon Age: Origins, Mark of the Ninja.

But yeah. You have an awesome laptop and can probably play just about everything.

Your laptop is much better than mine was. Even still, I found a good laptop game to be FTL

Try Bioshock Infinite with infinite worlds.

I see the command and conquer series just went on sale, are they good, and i yes, which is the best?

How does your i7-3630QM have only 2 cores and mine 4 cores?

At the moment im playing the new hitman and tomb raider with laptop.

CIV V

Looks like others have already informed you of how you pretty much have a gaming laptop, I have yet to meet a game I could not play on this 2+ year old Dell XPS 17, most of the games I can play in 1920x1080 resolution, a few games I bump down to 1600x900 resolution because of low framerates. Make sure the games are using your GPU and not your desktop chipset, mine has an nvidia chipset so I'm unsure how Radeon works, but a couple of games I had to force to use the GPU in the nvidia control panel (most of them just automatically use it).. one time on the DCS A-10 flight simulator I was getting like 17FPS, then I discovered it was using the intel HD instead of the nvidia, changed it, got 60+FPS

Ys Origin, it's on sale for about 4 more hours.

You said there's no updated driver for your GPU available for Win 8 to date, have you tried looking for it?

This topic is more turning into bitching about windows 8 than really answhering my question...
Thanks for those who submitted ideas, but are there any more?
I like old 2d graphics, some action or RTS. But other games are also welcome

If you like rogue like games, check dungeon of dredmore. (whithout DLCs first and if you like it, take them, they add some fun). And if the game is also avaible on xbox, ps3 etc etc it means you have good chances to run it at least on low settings.

Maybe some local multiplayer ideas?

As you already own L4D2 and Portal 2 perhaps a game from the Anno-series? 1404 for 'sweet' and cute middleage romantic or 2070 for more sterile future, but the up-to-date game.
And of course for yourself (the sunflower insists on telling you this): Plants vs. Zombies!

Skyrim (heavily modded) and on max graphical settings,

Far Cry 3 on max,

Metro: LL on MAX, and

Crysis 3 ON MAX,

• Beat Hazard (135)
• The Binding of Isaac (2)
• SPAZ
• Portal 2 (4)
• Jamestown (1234)
• Renegade Ops (13)
• Retro City Rampage (2)
• Bastion (3)
• Bunny Must Die (235) (not on Steam, can be found on Desura, maybe DRM free in other places)

1. Those games have local multiplayer
2. Old school 2D graphics
3. Better with a controller
4. You need more than 1 controller
5. I've tested it with non 360 controllers, doesn't mean that others won't work with them but, I've tested these.
