How well do 13' MacBook Pros stand up to basic gaming?

Hello, recently I was considering selling my current MacBook (White Unibody 2010) and buying a MacBook Pro 13' Base model. I was wondering how well it would perform for basic games like Portal 2 and Minecraft compared to my current MacBook. I was wondering since they have intel Graphics 4000 instead of the Nvidia 320M chipset like mine. I understand that an i5 Ivy Bridge would be far more powerful in terms of video editing/processing then an intel core 2 duo cpu.

From what I've seen they handle games really well, considering it's a small laptop. Games like Portal 2 and Minecraft would be very playable.
