im not really answering your question but my 8600m gt in my macbook pro will only play rainbow six vegas 2 on the lowest possible settings which makes the graphics look terrible, elder scrolls oblivion looks decent, cod4 is decent, ArmA is decent, all on low settings with little or no AA and none at native resolution

all i am saying is that i have learned gaming with a laptop is not really ideal and you definitely shouldn't base your $2000 decision merely on games because that is not what laptops were designed for

just my 2 cents

Get a MacBook and build (or buy) a gaming tower.

the above is true if you build it yourself and do buy from the right places you can build a gaming tower for super cheap that is basically infinitely upgradable

Although I love Asus laptops and stuff, but I'd go with the MBP. They're both made by Asus anyways.
