As a majority of people have already stated emulators can be fairly entertaining. Also as previously suggested... get a console. Games for Xbox and PS2 can be had fairly cheaply from a used games store. These options aside, I have a few other suggestions for you.
Casual gaming on the internet is really taking off. Kongregate.com, Addicting games.com, and a host of other sites offer a wide variety of interesting games to play.
If you would like to stay fixed on your laptop I might suggest "You Don't Know Jack", or anything from the Worms series (Made by Team 17).
