You should get a Tablet PC from Toshiba.

Check out Gateway CX210X. My brother bought almost the same model about 7 months ago and likes it a lot. It has a 14-inch screen and is configurable with a Core 2 Duo processor, which is very good, and ATI Mobility X1400 graphics chip, which isn't the latest and greatest but should be fine for all but the newest, most demanding games. Downside: significantly heavier than Toshiba's offerings (6.2lbs instead of about 4). It also uses FinePoint technology instead of Wacom, which should only really present a problem if you're an artist and need pressure-sensitivity.

Another possibility is the LG C1:

It's super-light weight, has a 10.1-inch screen and an nVidia 7300 graphics chip, which again is not absolute top-of-the-line but should be adequate. Only problem is it costs about 2.5x as much as the Gateway, the screen is a bit small for some tastes, the optical drive isn't built-in, and the CPU is weaker. Also good luck finding it--I don't think it's carried by any American retailers.

simply put, no
most tablets have very cheap or low end integrated video cards that cannot handle games.
you may be able to play some oldergames, but not too much from the last couple of years

no there is no such thing as a gaming tablet. most companies make tablets small by using integrated graphics instead of dedicated. so u will not be gaming on any tablet
