Let me start off by saying: Mac Minis are not made for gaming; however, you can most likely run those games on low to medium settings (Dedicated Graphics, not HD 3000). To be honest, the Mac Mini probably won't yield you any more fps than a gaming console. On top of the weak graphics card, most of these games do not run natively in Mac OSX. This means that you will need to install Windows via BootCamp to play the games.

I would strongly recommend you consider a different computer if you are purchasing this computer for gaming. If you have your heart set on the Mini, wait until Apple refreshes it with the new Ivy Bridge processors and newer video cards.
