I know not the best gaming machine but I cant be bothered to buy a new computer when rarely play video games.

So here are the stats:

2006 MBP 2.2 2.33Ghz Core Duo
4GB RAM
RadeonX1600 256 MB
OSX 10.6.6
Windows 7 SP1


What are some cool games that I can run without my computer exploding?

If you don't love this game I will give you a free shirt.
It's about 7 or 8 years old, but so much fun.
