Gizmag have done a little research on which games run perfectly well on a netbook – games that don’t need the resources to play them that netbooks generally don’t have.

The netbook they used to test the games out is the Lenovo IdeaPad S10 which should mean any Atom based netbook using the Intel GMA 950 graphics module will run the games with no problems also, allowing gamers like myself to enjoy some light gaming relief on our netbooks.

Obviously, you won’t be playing games like Crysis, which is hugely resource intensive, on your netbook but, there are some great titles that Gizmag have noted as working on their S10 including Beneath a Steel Sky which is a free classic adventure game, popular MMORPG Eve online and a handful of Steam titles. Of course their list isn’t exhaustive, there are many other games that a netbook can handle and if any of our readers know of any other working games and would like to add to the list we’d love to hear from you.

Best of all, you don’t have to worry about consuming your Eee PC’s storage devices just to play those games. The Games are installed and run on a regular high-capacity, fast-processing PCs and stream remotely to the Eee PC 700. And don’t worry about streaming lag, because StreamMyGame promises no delays whenever you are playing those games on your PCs. Just make sure that you stay connected all through out the games.
