How is the i5 Macbbok Air for some light gaming?

[Smiller4128]

Looking to see how the i5 Macbook air does with some light gaming such as Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for instance? Nothing to crazy but something to kill maybe like 30-60 minutes on?

I had no problems with my MBA when playing some games. It should be no problem as long as you play no heavy graphic intensive games.

Anybody tried to play any games on their airs? If so which ones run successfully?

On regular basis I play Minecraft, Company of Heores, Civ 5, Civ 3 and Age of Empires 3. The fan goes crazy but the games run without a problem.

Oh sweet it can run civ 5? On what graphic settings can the air run it in? I might be interested in buying that one.
