Well I've played GTA: SA on a GMA 900 before and CS:S on a GMA 950. They both run okay.

Intel's compatibility guide isn't really that useful since I don't think they ever update it. They just test games as they are released or perhaps in prerelease and list the results, but I don't think they retest when they release new patches or new drivers. The guide is also probably a bit conservative, which I suppose is a good thing since at least they aren't trying to over inflate things like the previous "Extreme Graphics" line.
