is it good for games?

It most likely performs well with games that don't require too much video RAM. But intense games that use or depend on the the video GPU would run sluggish. Try to look for a laptop with at least an i5 (dual core) or i7 (quad) processor. As well with dedicated video RAM (GPU) w/at least 1GIG.

I bought this specifically to play World of Warcraft when not at home. It handles the game well and I'm happy with my choice.

Ihave mine sinced 3 weeks ago, and NO problem, its great, i used it for games and its really good at it. Best pc for the price, trust me.

Yes and yes. It's a fast machine. But you'll need a graphic's card if you want to play most games. I don't play on mine, but I have a friend that does.

Yes, I bought it just for gaming. But I don't really like its gaming mode (it does not show the real image, it kinda adds a filter to it). But, It's 27inch, and it has a reasonable price, so...pretty good in general

I use it for Lord of the Rings Online, Civ 5 and a whole host of other games. I don't really do FPS so can't answer there, but it seems the answer would be yes.

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 don't think so. It has plenty of power for standard uses but I think gamers need more. Do more research. I'm not the best to answer.

Yes, you can, but not for games... Just normal use... The graphic card is weak but works :)

It has the power to run the games fine and on high graphics settings. But if you're intending to use it for long periods of time, 3-4 hours settings, I'd go for something else. The problem I've been having with this model is the power port becomes overly heated and has become disconnected from the motherboard. I've had to repair it twice.

I honestly don't know for sure, but I use it to play Guild Wars 2 on it, so I want to say yes, you should check the minimum req. for the games

I would say not...it is a good basic laptop, at least for me, but I would say very unlikely to handle gaming

Graphics-wise, this is not a computer designed for complex graphic-based games. It is fine for general gameing use.

It plays older games with ease. Newer games work also although you may need to scale down the resolution/quality. The laptop also gets pretty hot when playing newer graphics intensive games. Because of this I'd recommend getting a cooling pad to go with it.Overall this is one of nicest full featured laptops available. I also replaced the hard drive with an Intel ssd which made a huge performance difference. I'd strongly recommend upgrading any laptop you buy with an ssd. In summary I'd say this laptop would play any of the games you mentioned. Just be prepared to buy a cooling pad.

Yeah. I've been using it for like 2 years now. It's fast, but it will heat up playing games.

It is not made for gaming. It is fine for internet, emails, and school work.

It will play most games. Some of the new games coming out will probably run too slow to really be playable, but for 99% of games it will be fine.

It's fairly good. It can run swtor on max and can also run minecraft with shaders with no lag. It's a very good card for the price.
