Gaming on the base model 15 inch or 13 inch maxxed

[Mansali]

I can only afford a maxxed out 13 inch or the base 15 inch. So that is what I will 100% get.

From time to time I will play some games. Like maybe once in a blue moon. Maybe if the games are good I might play some more. One game that I wanna play is Bioshock Infinite. I can always get the game for my ps3 but I wanna try out something new so I might get it for my mac.

My friend wants me to play starcraft 2. would that be doable?

Note: This laptop is not for gaming. If games are unplayable I will just not play any.

Would these games be playable or would they lag so much that I would hate it? I saw the benchmarks for BioShock Infinite but could not come to a proper conclusion.

Thanks.

Judging by the iMac review by anand, bioshock will run quite well.

This is Iris Pro, so relevant for the 15" only.

Indeed. I believe that it's safe to assume that the 13" will be capable of running it more or less smoothly with 1280*800 and low-medium settings.
