Not exactly buying this for gaming, but can anyone recommend good games for this computer that aren't just simple casual games?

If you've heard of steam, that would be a great choice. It's a gaming community program, and there are a lot of games for mac that aren't casual. For example, my favorite is Team Fortress 2, which is free. You should look at the games online, and then decide if Steam's good for you. Steam-http://store.steampowered.com/

No this is very basic computer, a very good model but graphics, processing and memory are no where near what you would need for gaming. this model is good for getting online, watching shows online and storage of pictures and documents, and some basic computing programs. search for gaming models.

According to my 13 year old gamer son who we bought this computer for, though he does not play guild wars, he checked into it and believes it is capable of playing on this computer. He is a minecrafter and does experience some occasional lag but it does fine otherwise. It's been a good gaming computer for the price.

I play world of Warcraft on it, works good but not as good as my Alienware.

Nope. This is entirely off-line and can be played with the oldest, crustiest computer available in your closet. It is not flashy, it's very simple in graphics but it IS WORTH EVERY PENNY in quality.

It is not a good computer if you are a serious gamer. For simple games it will do.

I don't game, if you are a casual gamer maybe, if your a serious gamer you probably wouldn't of asked! for $400 it works well, a good game card (GPU) start @ $250, hope this helps.

yes, it will run games, but it's not going to give extreme details or all the sparkles of a gaming rig. it's more of a multi-media/work station type machine. i upgraded the ram to 8gig, and it is a sweet machine!

I've manage to play a good selection of games, skullgirls, Hitman absolution, minecraft, borderderlands, mark of the ninja, minecraft, team fortress 2, if you want to play high quality games like witcher, assassins creed, or battlefield this might not be for you.

yes, should play just fine, just won't have all of the bells and whistles that a high-end desktop would. for another 45 bucks, you can go to Kingston and buy 2 4gig sticks of mem for an easy upgrade!

I bought it for my father-in-law, so I'm not using it all the time. But... I'm thinking it may be that good as a gaming machine. - it does have a good-sized hard drive and a decent processor, but it doesn't have the high end video card that would be best for gaming. It seems to be a good computer and the price was good though.

I am not into gaming. However, when I read the reviews of others before I bought, one of the reviewers said it was great. You might look at the TV page and look for other reviewers. You can find his.

Depends on what you mean by "gaming"? This is a netbook with a 1.0 Ghz cpu with Turbo to 1.3 Ghz for two cores. It has the equivalent of a Radeon HD 6200 series video card. It is very good for internet browsing, e-mail, typical office tasks and very good for watching streaming video. If the game is internet-based and doesn't require a high-powered cpu and video card then it should be perfectly adequate.

"Okay" .. yes... But this is not a gaming class machine to be sure... I have been able to play the newest 1st person shooters and driving games quite well..(not at highest level settings)., however I would very much recommend a RAM upgrade to 8gig(max it allows) if gaming is desired.... Overall for.the price I find it to be a quick and.versatile machine... But, I would consider the price of a RAM upgrade (80-ish dollars) into the purchase price if you plan to game.

It will play lowend games like mine craft , if you invest in a solid state hard drive it will play games way better

Depends. I've only tried minecraft on it and it works pretty good with a few settings changed. I don't really think that this is a "full fledged" gaming computer, though

Sorry, didn't see question sooner. No, not a good (as someone answered already) serious gaming computer, although I'm not into gaming at all, don't see the point but this is a great bill pay computer, all around computer. You would probably want a different graphics card, more memory for gaming, but for someone wanting an all around general computer I would pick this one.
