Simple gaming laptop

I'm looking for a simple gaming laptop that is $500 or less. By simple gaming, I mean like, it could be able to play guild wars, age of empires, etc.

You don't have much of a choice at all for any laptop at the $500 price point.

Select the Smart Value Package, as it is a much better deal. You just need to decide if you want XP or Vista.

I think it should be able to play most older/low graphic intensive games fine (no idea what guild wars requires).
