    NO. First of all, I would never recommend an Acer. Brands such as Acer, Gateway, eMachines, etc are all very cheap because they are made out of the cheapest parts possible.

    Second, this laptop has a very poor video card. Anything that starts with "Intel HD Graphics" is probably integrated on the motherboard, meaning it is not meant for gaming.

    Do an internet search for gaming laptops and compare the specifications to this one. I think you'll be hard pressed to find a good gaming laptop for under $800.

    I PROMISE that you WILL be DISAPPOINTED if you buy this for gaming. Don't do it!

    Trust me you don't want to game on a lab top. First they get over heated fast, second they will never be as powerful as a desktop, and third.... most require a mouse, which is annoying to carry around with a labtop.

    And fourth that laptop won't even run either of those games...

    To be honest........ at least this laptop, if your considering gaming
