Is there any games that are playable on a dell inspiron 1525

Yes there are, I have this exact computer with the Intel Integrated Chipset and I can run quite a few games without issue (all are older or non-hardware demanding games though). Don't expect to be playing new games on it.

Here is a small list of good games that I run without lag (some newer games run but at very low frame rates like fallout 3... but its unplayable with such lag. Elder Scrolls Oblivion is fairly playable at lowest settings):

Games:

Half-Life 2 - At highest settings
F.E.A.R. - mid to high settings
Doom 3 - low to mid settings
AREA 51 - mid settings
Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen 1&2 - high settings
LOK: Soul Reaver 1&2 - high settings
LOK: Defiance - high settings
Need for Speed: Underground 2 - low to mid settings
Castle Crashers - low settings and non-full screen at lowest res or will lag
The Incredible Hulk - high settings
Psychonauts - Runs but can be laggy in some areas.


Fable The lost Chapters - at mid to low settings - This works better with software emulation on with this tool "Intel Display Adapter Management Tool 2" most games don't work better with this on but some do, like this and DragonNest

Mostly any PS2/XBOX era games run just fine and some early next gen games run with low settings or some lag, I haven't personally tried "HALO 2" but it should run just fine if you have Vista. You will have to experiment with other games from that era to see what works, that's mostly what I did and why I am leaving this list so it will be easier for others who are looking.

Small games run fine too like:

Peggle
Zuma
Wizorb
ect...


Online Games:

League of Legends - on mostly low settings
Combat Arms - this used to work great for me but is laggy now
Maple Story - testing
Dragon Nest - works great on low settings - okay to run this you will need this "Intel Display Adapter Management Tool 2" you will need add the executable and then change it to software vertexing, without this tool nothing will render right in the game... for example my chars head was off his body and his arm was stuck outwards all the time.

Team Fortress 2 - Just tested this and it runs at the lowest resolution and the lowest settings but even then it is still laggy just in the "tutorial" mode.


Newer Games I have gotten to run:

Torchlight II (2) - runs but is a little laggy on lowest settings
Path of Exile - runs at lowest with a litttle lag (this is a great diablo clone)
The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion - runs but is a little laggy on lowest settings
Dragon Age: Origins - runs but is really laggy on lowest settings
The Witcher - runs but is really laggy on lowest settings
