Games for 8400M GS

Hi,
I have a Dell Vorstro with a 1.8GHz duel core processor, 2GB ram and a GeForce 8400M GS graphics card (128MB dedicated memory). This laptop wasn't bought for gaming, but I'd like to pick up a game it'll run well. It runs half life 2 well with reasonably high settings, and handles FEAR pretty well at medium high settings. Can anyone recommend a game (probably from around 2005 maybe 2006) which will run reasonably well at high or medium high settings? I'm looking for any type of game, but the best of the best from that year if possible. Also, I take it it won't manage Oblivion?
Cheers.

Ya Far Cry would be great. It will handle Obivion fine if you can handle a low resolution. I used to run it on a Dell 1210 with a Nvidia 7400. You may want to try Call of Duty 2, looks great and doesn't require a powerhouse to run it. Titan Quest may be worth trying as well.

Cheers for the ideas guys, I'll try one of those. Since you mention far cry, I tried the demo of this a while ago, and everything just showed up blue: sky ground, trees etc. I tried latest graphics drivers, lowest and highest graphics settings etc. Any ideas why this might be?

you should be ok for Oblivion just turn your resolution down a little lower, I ran it on a 6600gt and the 8400m has to better than that card was.

There's patches available for the full game to fix this.
