    I was wondering if there are any games that will run well on integrated with a touchpad? ie something I can play on a 4-5 hour plane/train journey.

    Plants vs Zombies?

    Or you can learn Halo:CE on legendary (might take a summer :p)

    or any Tower Defense game you can like :)

    Will Halo CE run on integrated? Not sure if I could play an fps with the trackpad. :)

    What about driving games? Can you get Road Rash on the pc? I used to love that game.

    I tested Dirt 2 with the integrated card, native resolution, ultra low settings, and the game ran with 18-22 fps, very playable.... :D

    World of Goo is Fantastilicious
    Defense grid is one of my favorite tower defense games and N64 emulation ftw, slow paced games like Zelda OOT and Banjo are perfectly playable with the keyboard

    The scary thing is that my friend actually played CE on legendary with the trackpad of his laptop a couple years ago. He didn't die once until one of the later levels.

    I can't recommend this enough! Monkey Island 1 and 2 special edition were both amazing. Really nice and relaxing to play when you need to prolong the battery life but you want to have fun too! :)
