Packing it up
I had originally intended to profile a few more games in this piece, but it seems I've grown a bit long-winded here. I guess those other games will have to wait for another installment.

The point is, even though you may not be able to take Doom 3 or Half-Life 2 on the road, that doesn't mean you still can't have some great games on your laptop. The trendsetters of a few years ago may be considered outdated for desktops, but they're perfect for today's laptops. Now instead of reading that efficiency report or compiling your presentation on that cross country flight or that long layover, you can wax a few bad guys. Just make sure you bring along a mouse, it makes it much easier.
