It is so much fun to get to the cheese and to the hole as fast as you can, together with max 24 other mice. And you can play as a shamman, chosen by the server ofcourse. Just try it."

Its not just scary horror action games that test Willmark01's netbook, oh no, he likes this weird stuff too commenting: "I admit that i have never played such a superb game. Its simply...in fact words can't describe, just play a level and you will know what i am feeling about this game!" :D

Crayon Physics Deluxe is a puzzle game designed by Petri Purho and released on January 7, 2009. An early version, titled Crayon Physics, won the grand prize at an independent video game festival.

Constantine

Willmark01 likes his action/horror and has taken time to let us know about Constantine.

Based on the DC Comics/Vertigo Hellblazer graphic novels and with all the supernatural thrills of the highly anticipated Warner Bros. Pictures film, this action horror game literally takes you to Hell and back! You are cast as irreverent mystic detective John Constantine and must embark on an investigation in a world of demons and angels that exists just beneath the landscape of contemporary Los Angeles. Caught up in a series of catastrophic events, it is imperative that you seek out and destroy pure evil - before peace on Earth is destroyed forever!

Ha goes on to say "It can be played smooth at max settings and looks great even tough when you start the game it warns you that the hardware detected is under specifications...what do they know."

The TF2 Ultimate FPS Pack

What is the TF2 Ultimate FPS Pack?
It's for the unfortunate with really old computers, and I mean seriously old computers. Ones with integrated graphics cards, and/or old dedicated graphics cards.

What are the results?
I've been testing achievement_idle because it's the most simple map available. I can get around 40-60 FPS with each class.

Pro Pinball [Electronic Arts]

Wayneleon has written in with a massive review of this excellant, netbook friendly, pinball game...

Hardware:Toshiba Mini NB 200 with Atom N280 102 4MB RAM 800MHZ 250 GB HHD added with 500 GIG External Hard Drive

The best electronic pinball simulation you can play ANYWHERE in the world. The Pro Pinball series [which include 'The Web' Timeshock' Big Race USA, and Fantastic Journey] would give even real life pinball tables a serious run for their money. In fact, having one of the Pro Pinball simulations on your PC is just like owning your very own pinball table.

Battle for Wesnoth

Stefan Savolainen found this! "Freeware round-based strategy game with a fantasy theme. Features character development through experience points. Features a multiplayer mode. Supports full-screen mode for 1024x600. Runs just beautifully, the ideal netbook game. On first run, it might be useful to have KDE-mover-sizer installed, because it starts up with a 1024x768 window, but can easily be set-up through in-game-menues to use 1024x600 full-screen."

A few FPS games....

Netbook Gamer Artu has suggested these fine FPS games for your melting Netbook.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon
If you like First Person Shooters, and dificulty of one shot-one kill (including yourself) this is your game. The game is based on a special trained team, that u command, it has 18 missions, you can get mods and play campaign missions online. If you like Tom Clancy's works, you can't skip this from your games list.

Operation Flashpoint
Real based army shooter, it is a good game if you like to feel realism, if you run, you can shoot but you will hit a bird while aiming to the floor. It also has a wound system, if hand gets shot, aim decreases, if your feet are wounded, you atomatically go prone adn you must look out for a field medic.

F.E.A.R
First Person Shooter where you asume the role of a nameless cahracter known as ''Point Man'' or ''New Guy'' due to that he's been only one week with the team, and he have not done any mission yet. The story is about the First Encounter Assault Recon (F.E.A.R.) team, a special team created for paranormal situations that may be dangerous to the government. And that just happens. Alma is the main enemy here, even if she rarely appears, but when she does she can make you feel.... cold.

Artu adds "sorry if I had bad english, is not my natural language after all, I learned English from Video-Games XD !" lol, well I think thats amazing, well done fella!

Colin McRae Rally 2005

Prepare to be pummelled through a staggering 300+ stages driving cars from 4-wheel drive, 2-wheel drive, 4-wheel Classics, Super 2-wheel, Rear Wheel, Distinctive and 4x4 classics. And just when you thought a McRae game couldn’t offer more detail or visual splendour, the new bonnet-cam and an improved chase cam gives a real sensation of speed and undulation.

NBG reader Willmark01 flags this one up! Adding "It can be definatly played on an Acer Aspire One netbook. The detalis are set at medium but if just a tiny lag doesn't bother you it can be played at max.Oh, the netbook usually heats up when i play this game, probably me, probably the processor."

Euflorio

Mass Cham finds time to chill out with..

Eufloria is an ambient game of space exploration and conquest that employs surprising themes of plant growth and bio mechanical evolution. The game allows the player to explore a beautifully realized universe rendered in a style that is both unique and compelling. Eufloria's aesthetics are reminiscent of children's books like "the little prince" and the gameplay is supported by an original ambient soundtrack by Brian Grainger. Gameplay revolves around conquering asteroids in space and using their resources to literally grow and nurture new semi-organic plants and creatures to do the player's bidding. The player is pitched again several teams of AI opponents that all vie for the same resources and can offer fierce opposition.
