This is normal; depending on how resource intensive said games are how hot it gets will vary. As long as they don't cross too far over 90 celsius they'll generally perform fine, though keep in mind the hotter it's running the shorter lifespan the card will have overall.
As far as overheating to the point it causes immediate permanent damage, your video card has the same safeguards built in as your CPU, that is, if it does get to a point where it's too hot, it'll either lower its clockspeed or shut itself down entirely (most likely shutting down the entire computer in the process to avoid heat damage).
tldr; has built in safeguards, not likely to damage itself unless there's heavy dust buildup/poor case design/GPU overclocking involved.

"I think that the problem with this video is it is highly derivative of many popular bands within the genre. Although when viewed on its own merits, it does have a deeper groove. However what it has in groove, it lacks in originality. One can't help but be reminded of such bands as Pearl Jam, White Zombie, Suicidal Tendencies and other bands that bear the mantle of so called "Alternative Rock". One is even reminded of Lorie Anderson when she wore curlers. Hehehmhm! This video speaks less to the heart and more to the sphincter. In closing, I think Korn would do well to learn more from -"
