To play such games, u'd need a notebook with pretty poweful GPU like an X600.

you can pretty much forget about playing games with integrated graphic.

Definitely not with Intel's Extreme Graphics.. or even their new GMA integrated graphics.

You need to buy a notebook with discrete graphics. Look for something like ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 or X1600. Or the NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 or GeForce Go 7800.
