Check your compatible games based on your hardware specs. Your Intel HD 3000 GPU, 2370M CPU, and 8GB RAM should support older titles, but performance will vary. Look for games labeled as "compatible" or "retro" in your system settings.
Which games are you interested in? You can likely enjoy the most popular online titles such as TF2, MOBAs, or possibly CS:GO. You probably won’t be able to play many high-end triple A games, though—try running them at the lowest settings (720p) with 30 frames per second.
For pre-2012 titles, any game should work. However, a smooth experience is best achieved with lighter games such as LoL.
You seemed to manage Minecraft with minimal performance, around 15 frames per second, and it slowed down significantly to just 1 FPS. The game felt responsive enough for Team Fortress 2, though with noticeable delays.
In B4 Minecraft, things aren't great—only about 10-15 FPS on my HD3k.
