Laptop Game Recommendations?
Discussion
I have a PS3,, so been out of touch with PC gaming for a few years.
I've bought a new laptop, with a decent spec; i7 5th gen, 16gb ram and 1tb hdd. It's only got a 4gb AMD radeon graphics card though.
I hate foopball. Not big fan of God games. Love GTA, and driving games. Hate F1.
I've sen reviews of Kerbal Space Program, which looks fun-ish, but posibly a bit too involved for me (I like games I can dip in and out of, sometimes for only half an hour at a time), and also The Escapists, which seems like a laugh.
What else can you recommend, given my machine specs? Or where can I find reviews that I can filter by hardware reqirements?

can i do this with a PS3 pad, or would it have to be Microsoft?
Yes install the MotionInJoy drivers and plug it in with the USB cable, works perfectly for me.The new Tomb Raider and other triple A games like it (2011-14), should run fine on that card at medium settings if you drop the screen resolution down to 1280x720, GTA5 is one from this year you might get away with too. This site's quite useful to give you rough idea what it could run, link is a comparable card as that one lists more games.
You'll probably want to sign up to Steam anyway (don't always buy from there though, check around first), good stuff particularly smaller games were getting swamped with the sea of crap that was getting added lately, but it seems to have improved a bit now, it's fairly easy to find what's good in genres you like by sorting by user reviews then reading through some. The discovery queue helps a bit, I found a few things I didn't know about that way, though for me it rarely seems to list things because they are similar to games I play like it's supposed to.
Just Cause 2 is well worth getting if you never played it on console, plus there's the multiplayer mod on PC which is ideal for short sessions.

Op if you like driving games sign up to Steam and get Dirt Rally. One of the best rallying games tried for a long while. It's still under developmentbut you are getting in on ground floor.
I play on an i7 laptop with a decent graphics card. It's about 3 years old now but manages with good graphics settings.

Well I went on Steam, and bought The Escapists, which is on special this weekend.
It is extremely good at recreating life in prison. That is to say, it's st and incredibly tedious.
I will, therefore, listen only to PHers about what games to get, and ignore gaming reviewers, who all appear to be dimwits.
