I play games on the lowest resolution, lowest graphics settings but they still overheat. Example of games that overheat: GTA IV, Lead and Gold and Civilization V. Is there any way to reduce the temperature besides buying a new fan?
Leave side of case off, clean out dust

That usually makes things worse because it disrupts airflow and creates hotspots around the NB and CPU from the CPU fan ingesting the hot exhaust from the heatsink back into itself.

I dusted all fans and heat sinks a week ago, taking side of case off generally only makes a 1-2 C difference, 1-2 celcius isnt worth the effort it takes to clean and then to put back on, and it gets dusty faster
Does it heat up when idle? You might also try replacing the thermal paste.
