Ipad mini, ipad 4, or iPhone 5 for gaming?

Hi, I love gaming on ios (no, not Angry birds, hardcore stuff like Modern combat and Real Racing), and my ipod 4 is getting long in the tooth, so I'm going to upgrade, but, I have a problem: I need a powerful ios device that will have great performance and have a good screen to enjoy my games, but be nice to hold and be somewhat light and portable. There are three options here: iPhone 5, iPad Mini, and iPad 4. Pros and cons:

iPad Mini:

Good: portability, screen size.

Bad:power

IPad 4:

Good: Power, screen sharpness

Bad:big, heavy, not very.. Nice design

iPhone 5:

Good:power, portability.

Bad:battery life (big consideration), a bit small of a screen to immerse me in my games.

I would appreciate help, thank you!

The games that you're wanting to play will wreck havoc on any battery. I'd go for screen size.

I was thinking ipad mini; its the right size, but has the ipad 2 screen and chip so it may not be powerful. Maybe I'll wait till a more powerful ipad mini comes out... Thanks for the help though

For your gaming, the iPad 4 would be superior. Maybe Apple will improve the next iPad mini.
