You're good to go. I ran Medieval Total War, WoW, Crysis, Star Wars Online..

This laptop can easily run it even when using higher-level graphics settings. However, if you're planning on running more upscale games in the future, swapping out the graphics card would be recommended.

it can handle it on low setting, but if you can get something more powerful please do so, also it gets really hot really fast so every 3 months it's good to use an air can. The laptop also has 1 side vent and it gets crazy hot. She's been good to me so i'll stick with her till the end but get something with more power and vents

Should be able too. Ran world if Warcraft and other programs at the same fine fine for me.

The short answer is 'no.' It's got an integrated GPU with 4 GB of RAM, and after Windows that leaves barely anything for graphic-intensive apps even assuming the GPU could handle it to begin with. However, the fact that you're asking that question about this machine means you probably aren't a hardcore PC gamer. If you're just going to be playing Flash games or 2-D titles, almost anything (including this) will work.@Larry- not out of the box (this isn't an Android device). You'll have to get a emulator.

I didn't know they still sold this model; its roughly 2ish years old. I think you may want to look for a laptop with dedicated graphics.

I'm not sure, check the specifications of the game and compare them with the laptop.

Oh yes this runs garrys mod, half life, and other steam games quite nicely, the first day i got this i played halflife and worked beautifully. if you want to game, then this is a decent laptop. minecraft also works if you have certain settings set.

For a non-gaming laptop, it actually games pretty well. I've played Civ5 and Guild Wars 2 on mine and it does fine. It gets a bit hot on the underside when you have been at it for a while but overall, pretty good laptop.

If it's anything like other Haswell-ULT laptops (which I'm sure it is), it should be able to run pretty much anything, as long as you turn the settings down far enough. On a Surface Pro 2 (which runs the exact same CPU/GPU, the i5-4200U), for example, I've run Battlefield 4 at lowest/720p at a good 40 FPS, which was definitely playable. Less-demanding games like StarCraft II, DotA 2, Civilization V, etc, should be able to get 60+ FPS at lower settings.

I use a 3 year old laptop (with dedicated graphics) on the SC2 Beta and it runs just fine at medium settings so I'm pretty sure anything you buy will be fine

Hello Micheal, this laptop is not idle for gaming. Don't get me wrong, it will handle games extremely well at low settings but forget about extreme. But for the price, its more than idle. However, if you can shell out a little more then get this HP dv6-6c50us (15.6-Inch Screen) Laptop and upgrade your ram with this Corsair Vengeance Laptop Memory Kit 16 GB (2x8 GB) DDR3 1600MHz CL10 PC3 12800 (CMSX16GX3M2A1600C10), I assure you will get one powerful budget laptop all for around 800 bucks, with a bluray combo drive as an added bonus. This combo will give you a windows experience index rating of 6.4 and 7.5 for gaming graphics and memory operations respectively. Note the max WEI rating is 7.9, so do the maths, believe me $1800 laptops don't have such ratings. Hope this helps.

Short answer yes it will. It all depends on your laptop specs though. I went online and I found the minimum and recommended system requirements, http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/spintires/12217/?p=r If you have any doubt just go the the same website that was on and search for it and the website will automatically get your laptop's specs and tell you if you can play the game

Possibly, the one I bought had ubuntu on it but it will run windows 7 decently I would check to see what year the game was released if it was near 2007 you should be ok.

The answer would depend on the minimum and recommended specifications of the games you're trying to play. If the hardware meets or exceeds the recommended specifications for the game, then it will play very well.

Games like civ V and Tf2 run well on the high settings with no issue. Outlast ran fine without messing with the settings. It depends on how demanding the game is but should run it on medium setting

yes, because windows 7 has backwards compatibility with windows xp. It also works with windows 8, which is what I play it on. The reason this game works on windows 8 and the original medieval total war game doesn't is because this game runs on a 64-bit processor, and the original runs in 32-bit only. However, it appears to slow down the computer.

You should be able to. I can play counter strike global offensive and left 4 dead 2 easily. You won't be playing maxed out graphics. But it is a budget laptop.

I use it for both of those games with no problems. Most important is to get plenty of memory and CPU power (i5 or better)

I think that this laptop should work just fine with the games you mentioned. There is a possibility, however, that you won't be able to use the best graphic settings in those games. Generally, if you want a laptop for gaming, try to search for the ones that have a dedicated (not integrated) video cards inside. You can usually find it (whether it's dedicated) out in the detailed specs of a laptop. The general rule here, however, is that it's hard to find a laptop with a dedicated video card under $700.
