Well, to be frank, you can actually run most games on it, albeit not at 1080p and usually at the lowest settings.
My brother has the gt 210 and can actually run metro last light at lowest settings and 1600x900. LoL runs at like med-high. I know he can run most hl2 based games med-high as well (l4d, l4d2, tf2, etc.). He has a quad core, but its only the q6600 non-overclocked and most of these games run better on higher clocked duo core solutions.
He can also play Borderlands on low settings. Far Cry 3 won't run.
