These are all great, too! I can't recommend LIMBO enough. It's creepy and fun if not especially difficult.

I recommend The Binding of Isaac, by the way. It's made by the same people who made Super Meat Boy, fantastic game.

You can play New Vegas? SystemRequirementsLab said I can't even play Fallout 3. .-.

Yeah I can run it fine with mods and everything. Just note though, "Can you run it?" said that I couldn't run Minecraft, so you can't always trust what others say I guess :/. Also it took some coding and a lot of research for Fallout 3 to run. It's not optimized for Windows 7 so it took some tweaking lol. But yeah, New Vegas works great (just save often because that game is prone to crashing no matter what the PC or console is). Most likely if you can run something like Minecraft (it actually has pretty high requirements since the world is practically infinite) than you should be able to run NV. I know FEAR 2 had a demo so if you want you could try running that too. My bros HP Laptop lagged on the Amnesia demo but can run NV fine, so you should be pretty good (and he's had that laptop for around 4-5 years).

I have Windows 8 so I'm rather nervous about buying RPGs, especially Bethesda ones. :S Can Fallout 3 run fine on Windows 8? Or would I have to do mad tweaking to get it to work?

Windows 8 isn't a problem, but I'm not sure how well your PC could handle the games.

Guessing you have integrated graphics meaning most of the games in that long green/blue list won't run.

What kind of tweaking did you do for Fallout 3/NV??

I have a pretty old laptop (think 3-5 years) that has integrated graphics card and a dual core 2.6ghz processor.

I can run Fallout 3, but it gets around 10-15 frames per second on lowest settings..

Do you know of any similar games to Fallout 3 in terms of performance that have demos on Steam?

Should really try uberstrike
a lot of people on facebook play it(it's playable through facebook), and it's very popular
average skill of the players is so low, target practice errywhere.

 

here's probably the best two players

If you have integrated graphics fallout 3 is probably a bad idea.
