    Well there have been very few good games of late, so no worries about the specs.

    Mechwarrior 3/4 (controls may be a bit narky on the laptop)
    System Shock 2 is the same but better than BioShock.
    Shogun/Rome TotalWar.
    GTA 3.
    I dunno, there are lots of games.

    If it's something like Age of Empires you want, maybe check out the Stronghold series. The older Command and Conquers (Red Alert 2 immediately springs to mind) are set in the future (Or futuristic, alternate reality present day...it's hard to keep up..) but have a very similar feel to them and are fantastic games.

    The Total War series as mentioned are also brilliant (Particularly Shogun and Rome), but they're much more tactical than AoE and focus more on the battle side of things.

    might want to avoid medieval as it has a good few compatibility problems. another good game to try is star wars knights of the old republic

    World of Goo - Not an especially demmanding game, it should run on that anyway...
    I'm in the process of spreading some goo love around, already have my flatmate totally hooked on it, and I'm sure another friend will adore it

    The Peggle collection was on offer on Steam this weekend, £7 for the full collection. Too late now, but even at full price they're a great way to while away some time
