Gamespot Score : 8.70
(2) Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amin & Throne of Bhaal plays perfectly at full 800x480 resolution (though stretched). Change the resolution in-game to 800x600 and it plays perfectly with BASSAM's AsTray Plus. Install the latest 23037 patch & use the No-CD patch to play without a CD. If the Windows hour-glass cursor shows in the game then use
http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=14516 utility to remove it.
UPDATE : For EeePC 1024x600 resolution owners : Use the widescreen patch from
http://www.gibberlings3.net/widescreen/ to play real widescreen on 1024x600 resolution !

(3) Conflict Desert Storm runs fine on Stock 701, Cant get it to run at 800x480 but runs fine at 800x600. (submitted by beeks)
(4) Counterstrike 1.6, Condition Zero & Half-Life play perfectly at 640x480 resolution fullscreen stretched. It stutters a bit at 630Mz. You need to overclock your 701 it to 900Mz to play it perfectly & smoothly.
(5) Freedom Fighters runs on Stock 701, Select 800x480 from GFX config and turn down gfx options to medium. (says beeks)

(7) Halo: Combat Evolved - To get halo to work, make sure you clock your EEEPC to 900mhz using a program like eeectl. (I am running Windows XP Pro). Open 3D Analyze and select the *.exe file to run halo.
Here are the Settings that need a check mark beside them:
force SW TnL
force windowed mode
force max. pixel shader version 1.1
emulate HW TnL caps
Enjoy! (says Barlow)
So i ran it with 3DAnalyze and its great, i didnt need to overclock my EEE and the resolution can be changed to the bog standard EEE resolution for even better game play. The FPS is great, i repeat, over clocking is not needed. (says DanTheTray)
You can download 3DAnalyze from here

(10) Neverwinter Nights, just use NDubyaConfig to set the 800x480 resolution and update to version 1.68 to remove the cd check. (thanks to mitch1974) But this will loose the Quick launch bar at the bottom. If you want the quick launch bar too then you will have to set the resolution to 800x600 and set scrolling on in AsTray +.

(13) Unreal Tournament runs great on the 701. It runs full 800x480 with real widescreen, looks crackers and runs smooth as a baby's bottom on the native specs....512MB RAM, 630Mz speed. Install the latest patch 436 to play without the CD. This is one of the very few games which play true widescreen 800x480. Check here how to play true widescreen
http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/fo … hp?t=4042. The best FPS on the EeePC.

(14) Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption - Copied CD's to USB stick and installed flawlessly. Patched to 1.1. Does need a NOCD exe, but the ones on the net do not "crack" the CD key requirement, so I'm not feeling too bad about this smile This game is a gem. Will run at 800x480 by default, and you can set everything to high. It might look dated at first, but it's a kickass game with an amazing storyline, good voice acting, and navigates well with the trackpad for a 3D game. (Tip: use Z to look around.) (says DeathKnight)
