I'll second both the W3J and A8JM, both would probably be fine for your needs.

Re: Help me out with portable gaming laptop
Early June for the W3J, not sure about the A8JM. The W3J is available for preorder at www.powernotebooks.com

Re: Help me out with portable gaming laptop
I'll third the Asus W3J, it's an excellent machine. PowerNotebooks has it for preorder as Reize said here:
http://www.powernotebooks.com/specs/Asus/W3J.php
There's quite a few threads on the W3J in the Asus forum here if you would like to see pictures, etc, so be sure to pay a visit there.
I highly recommend PowerNotebooks because of their phenominal customer service and rock-solid reputation.
