MacBook Pro Late '08 Model, can't handle games?

I have a late 2008 model Macbook Pro, it's stats are:
2.53 Ghz intel core 2 duo
4GB RAM 1067 Mhz DDR3
Nvidia Geforce 9400M 256MB
OSX 10.9.5

I'm kind of dumb to computer specifics and details, and mainly play games on console, but I was just trying to see if I could play any less demanding games or older games on here for the slower days in the office. I understand Apple computers aren't necessarily meant for gaming. I have programs including Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, Logic X, Final Cut, iMovie, and Garage Band, could this interfere with the computer's ability to handle games by any chance? I have Minecraft downloaded on my Macbook but have only tried to play it once or twice in the past. I had to lower the settings a lot to get it to play somewhat smoothly, and I thought if anything that was not a demanding game. I'm not looking to play anything like Witcher 3 at max settings by any means, just would be nice to be able to play something that it can handle. Any help or information is appreciated.
