You could probably play Left 4 Dead on Med. settings, UT3, and any other 2008-2009 game(*excluding Crysis) on med-low settings. Here's details on what to expect on your 4650:

EDIT: One Laptop Upgrade I always suggest is an extended warranty! Especially on the battery/LCD, 2 years minimum 3 yrs standard with no Additional Damage Protection.

Pretty decent specs for a laptop, should handle games using the Source engine pretty well, like L4D as mentioned and even some Half Life 2.
