I went to see my family for christmas vacation, and they have a really, really shitty computer. Luckily I brought my ok-ish laptop, it can't run sc2 (10 fps). atm i'm playing BW, so don't recommend it, I hit D+ on iccup but I really want something else to play. Ive been thinking about dota or wc3, but im not sure. So my question is, what games do you recommend, that don't require good specs, and don't cost too much money. (I have minecraft)

osu! It's really hard at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's really addicting. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=94258

I am a huge fan of Doom 1-2, Heretic (<3 <3 <3), Duke Nukem 3D, Quake 1 and 2, Age of Empires 2, Hexen, Brood War and play their single player modes to this day.

what kind of games are you into? the original COD and MOHAA are both good FPS but for RTS AoE 1 or 2 for a TBS Civilizations or heroes of might and magic are both really good series

The Half-Life and (depending on your definition of a good computer) Half-Life 2. There are also many expansion packs for all of these, and good free mods. Right now on steam, the first Half-Life is $7.49 (including all expansions) and the pack of all valve games is $50 (it's a ton of games, so it's actually fairly cheap). Both have pretty good single player modes, and obviously the online play is great. http://store.steampowered.com/app/70.

If you laptop has a good CPU but a bad GPU (as many laptops do), you can try playing some of your old gamecube games using Dolphin http://www.dolphin-emulator.com/. It works pretty well for me (and combined with a USB xbox360 controller it feels pretty good, too). There are also emulators for older systems which tend to be lighter on CPU requirements.

If you have friends to LAN with, OpenArena http://openarena.ws/smfnews.php (a free, open-source Quake 3 Arena clone) is great. It has pretty much no system requirements and is free, which is great. IDK if anyone plays it online (I haven't ever tried, we just used to play it at LANs). There are some good mods for Quake 3 (I recommend World of Padman).

How about brood war? CS, Quake live doesnt need a good pc too I'm guessing, but obviously needs a good connection. And any of the old rpgs mentioned above.

Heretic yes!! The first game I played on my cd-rom drive, it came with the creative 6x drive I bought, was so awesome!

Battle for Wesnoth is a really nice TBS tactical game. It should run on anything.
