The Gabriel Knight series is an adventure classic, and a great match for Netbooks.

Since we put together our first Netbook-friendly PC game list, we’ve gotten many excellent suggestions from readers for new additions. We’ve also finally seen some long-awaited new entries from the classic Sierra/Activision library come to the popular GOG.com retro gaming Web site (including one of our long-time faves, Gabriel Knight), which gives us even more to choose from.

The new 2010 crop of Netbooks sadly don’t offer much in the way for performance improvements. Instead, systems with the latest Intel Atom N450 CPU have made big gains in battery life. That’s always a plus, but it also means our standard admonitions about not expecting too much from your Netbook in terms of performance remain in effect. That said, this collection (which includes links to download or play the games themselves) should help make your Netbook a pretty decent mobile gaming machine.
