Audiosurf should definitely not be missed. You're actually using your own mp3's to generate levels. How sweet is that.

I believe there's a demo out for that if you're interested.

Thanks for the contributions, list updated.

Well, I don't know, AudioSurf is almost Unplayable on my 1.5GHZ processor, but it could be the fact that it's an old Socket A Sempron, so I don't know about a 1.5GhZ P4...

Soldier of Fortune 2 Gold is defidently worth a look. You can run it with a standard intel graphics card just fine. I used to run this game on the first computer I ever had which was a crappy eMachine.

The first page lists the minimum specs all the games run on. So if your system is below that level, it may not allow you to play some of the games. Almost all of them should run on such a system though, especially since the original minimum specs were a Pentium III CPU with a GeForce MX440, and most of the game additions were made keeping these specs in mind. I revised the minimum specs somewhere around the start of the year, if I remember right.

Just something I noticed to update the list. I noticed that the Call of Duty game is listed as 'all'. I would say that COD 2 maybe 3 can run on lower hardware. 4-5 definately need some power.

Not really. The newer games run very well on old hardware too. There are lots of videos on YouTube of CoD4 running on a 6200, and CoD:WaW shares the same engine.
