considering those new thing like DDR3 and 9400M, new MacBook will be suitable only for light gaming, games from older times or current lighter games will be able to perform nicely, playing NFS ProStreet or Carbon shud not be an issue...
but the games now will be able to play nicely, in the future when new game come out it wont be able to catch up, not to mention u dun have the option to upgrade ur Macbook "internal organ"
if ur rig were really meant for gaming, then i will really suggest tat get a desktop,
1. it is customisable
2. it is upgradable
both are important considering current and future requirement for gaming
9400M wont really be good for gaming, and it even share the ram with the system.
it is better to have a dedicated ram for the gpu itself rather than sharing it
if really wan to have portable gaming, get a PSP
but still it is good that at least now MacBook has a better gpu than it predecessor, at least the new gpu can optimize HD video decoding, and prepare for the next release of OSX
