Check out my list - I have over 9,000+ games on my netbook for gaming on the go.
My top picks are Icy Tower, Dwarf Fortress, DCSS, Streets Of Rage Remake and N.
I'll add Legend of Grimrock if you're a fan of good old dungeon crawlers, since I've seen it running on practically everything. It's perfectly enjoyable on small screens, I'd say it's almost better that way than on a 2X'' monitor
I only use my laptop for older and less graphically demanding games. Just looking at my Steam account, here are some I have installed right now: Alan Wake, Bastion, GTA: Vice City, Max Payne 1&2, Hotline: Miami, Mask of the Ninja, Star Wars: KOTOR.
I have a pretty good laptop and I can run DmC at around 35 to 40 fps. Sleeping Dogs, Warhammer: Space Marine, Saints Row 3, Hotline Miami, Lucius is kinda cool too. Mark of the Ninja and Deadlight are great games also. So many games to play
[quote name='Echoes']Yeah it all depends on your specs. I use my laptop for all my gaming, since its a "gaming" laptop. What graphics card do you have?
Btw, Source engine games are some of the easiest modern games to run. I have no clue why though.[/QUOTE]
I have the HD4000 integrated. I believe its actually located inside the CPU core.

You should be able to play any game you want with that, you just may have to settle for low settings.

This! For a netbook, I've put a bunch of my GOG games onto it for old school goodness. If you're a strategy person, I'd also recommend games from Matrix Games which are low spec (their games are generally full price, but its a niche market thing)
