How well well this laptop play games?

Avoid for any "hardcore" gaming.

While the specific AMD A6 APU is not listed, based on the clockspeed I suspect it has the A6-4400m APU which has the integrated Radeon HD 7520G graphic core. It performs worse than the Intel HD 4000 graphic core which is the integrated graphic core in all 3rd generation "Ivy Bridge" CPUs. Based on the benchmarks in the below link the Intel HD 4000 is more or less equal in performance to the Radeon HD 7640g (in the A8-4500m APU) though in the Dirt Showdown benchmark Intel crushes AMD by a whopping 61% and and F1 2011 Intel beats AMD by a respectable 24%. At worst, the Intel HD 4000 looses to the Radeon HD 7640g by 9% in FIFA 12.

In the end both the Intel HD 4000 and Radeon HD 7640g are weak compared to dedicated graphics but they should be sufficient for minecraft and Team Fortress 2. Not familiar with Terraria, but if it is an online MMO game, then I think you should be okay since online MMOs generally have very modest requirements.

The AMD A10-4600m has the best performing integrated graphics core; the Radeon HD 7660g.

Proved wrong: http://m.youtube.com/user/bedwetterful please tell me if I'm incorrect.
 
That depends on what your definition of hardcore is. Most gamer's definition of hardcore gaming (at least in this forum) is high or ultra graphic settings and usually at least 40 frames per second.

Um, thats at 800 x 600 and on poor settings too. Furthermore it tells nothing about whether other igp's are better.
