What Can I Play?

G Day All,

I'm currently in Hospital at the moment and will be for another couple of months

I just got my hands on a laptop with a pre-paid net conection thats quite pathetic compared to my home land line one, so i have an i7 with 4gb ram and an amd intergrated 1gb graphics card thing with a 5gb for 30 days net connection.

I'm looking for some good single player offline games i could play, i don't mind if they require a net conection to activate but do mind if they have a million and one patch's as my pre-paid net connection is aweful.

I like most types of games bar puzzle and scrolling games so anybody got any suggestions please?

I have tried to conect to my Steam account but can't access it as i need to get to my land line isp email to confirm its me and its ok to use on this pc as above I'm in hospital and can not do that besides I don't have enough gb on this pre-paid isp **** to re-download all those games anyway and i don't think I could dl 1 with a 5gb cap lol.

Hard to say what games you can play offline, I take it for granted many of the recent big releases will use some sort of online activation and patches, as you know.
There is some sweet indie games though... and games you can play in a browser for your pc specs.
Torchlight might be worth a try...Its not too graphics heavy. Thats what I would play. Nothing too thought intensive or strategic I'm guessing would be good for a hospital or chemotherapy?.

Hey Wag's its AriseAbove here,

Got me mum to go get me a few games seeing's I can't access my Steam account from Hospital

She got me 4 older games two good choices and well I dunno about the other two as there not really my thing anyway she got me,

NFS HP
Mass Effect 2

Had to pirate crack a legit copy of that NFS for the silly thing to work, it ain't associated with my origin account so i don't care but normally as you know i'm dead against that but ffs its a legit copy bought retail the dam thing should work but it didn't hence the pirate crack.

The two i'm unsure about and yet to play are,

Darksiders
Batman Arkham Asylum

Arkham asylum I think uses games for windows, however is awesome. Pretty sure needs a fair patch.
Hot pursuit is also excellent arcade racing. You can work around the patch and just not update with origin I found. xbox360 controller is good.
Mass effect 2 excellent. Patches may be just for more content and bugs.
Darksiders I have heard is good, but long. Uses steam?
Good choices for pc games, But with your laptop specs, all may be difficult to play with just 1gb integrated. All Definitely worth playing on a decent computer.

The Settlers, silly fun game. Haven't played any you've mentioned.
