Is this Laptop any good for gaming

Hi all
My son is looking for a laptop to play games on such as PES and football manager. I have looked around and come across this laptop from argos which seems good value. Is it any good for gaming?

    if you want a gaming laptop you want to be looking at about doubling the budget you have (based on around £400 for the specified laptop), however those laptops should play your specified games on low to medium graphics setting if he would be happy with that
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    When I was looking for a gaming pc i look at the specs of the hightest game i would play and buy it of that, so look at the highest spec game that your son would play and see if it can run it.£400 isn't enough for a good gaming pc.
