some games from 2004-2005 would prolly run ok, but dont expect 2006 and next-gen games to run so hot, or at all.wis3boi

If it helps at all, your Laptop GPU is approximately equivalent to a GForce3 or a Radeon 9000.  Wis3boi is right - don't expect to run anything after 2004.  Although I've heard from other 6150 owners that WoW will run fairly decently on it...

im i the only person who played this game and had no bugs. im not being big headed. but it was pritty fun barzankiller

No - I also played it and experienced zero bugs - 'course I started out by downloading and installing the official 1.2 patch and then the User Community 2.3 patch.

Bloodlines is my all time favorite game ever.  I don't know why but everything about it drew me in and completely clicked for me.  I pretty much disregarded everything in my life for three straight days while I played...  I bought it a year ago in the bargain bin for $19.99 and it was the best 20 bucks I ever spent.  There's a part of me that wants to track down Tim Cain and send him $50 of pocket money and an apology for not buying the game when it first came out...  :P

If you liked Deus Ex and/or System Shock 1/2 you will enjoy Bloodlines.

Thank you!! I have been singing the praise of the atmosphere generated in this game for years now. The combat is **** but the ambiance, sound, and story make this my definite number one.amm253

I don't know why but I thought the combat in Bloodlines was awesome.  I even went the gun route my first time through and despite the gamespot reviewers claims that gun combat was underpowered, I experienced no such issues.  If you max out your gun skills and combine it with Alacrity, you are pretty freakin' deadly.  I'm going to have to go back and play it again just thinking about it... ;)

I agree that System Shock 2 deserves a nod here - great game with great atmosphere.  For anybody feeling like they might be interested but are annoyed by the dated graphics, there's a mod out there for the game called "Rebirth" that revamps about 75% of the game to High-Res texture maps - makes it much better.

I played through about half of Thief 1.  I really loved it at the time so I'm not sure why I never finished it.  I'll have to give Thief III a go now...

Without a doubt, hands down, it would be Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines.  :)

Shadowgrounds - it's a download off of the Steam service.  It's good four about 6 - 8 hours of gameplay.  Only 20 bucks but there's a free demo that you can download to see if you like.

Multiplayer Coop on the same PC - best with two controllers as you mentioned... :)
