Well, it's supposed to get hot, I don't know what your question is.

If you want to cool it down then buy a cooling pad - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834953031&cm_re=cooling_pad-_-34-953-031-_-Product

Well unfortunately laptops cannot distribute heat like a computer can. The laptop has a very small amount of space and limited cooling methods to handle this and as much for 'gaming' as it is, when the gpu is getting put to use on a game it will get hot.
It may be worth grabbing exact temps so we can see how high they are. You can also buy a cooler for it although I am not sure how well they work.
It could just be a defective unit. But try and find out the temps Hope it goes well
