    To run pc games in a handheld format your looking at devices like UMPC's (ultra mobile pc).
    Samsung Q1 and AsusR2H are 2 of these umpc's that are shipping at the moment. Basically tablet pcs with 7 inch displays, no keyboard, limited processor power and memory.

    Other options are devices like the Sony VGN-UX50 and OQO which are similar to the Samsung and Asus devices but have a built in keyboard.

    All these devices are expensive, Asus and Samsung umpc's from 700 to 1100 euros. The Sony and OQO devices are over 2000 euros.
