Current games playing on Windows 7

A bit of a silly question really.

Most of my games state they will play on Windows XP/Vista, I'm I right in thinking they should also play fine on any newer operating system, such as Windows 7 (and 64-bit version) - just not on older OS such Windows 2000

The reason why I'm asking is that I haven't finished playing older games such as Far Cry, Thief:Deadly Shadows, Stalker:Shadow of Chernobyl, Dead Space, but wishing to soon upgrade from Windows XP 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit. How about Sims 3?

Will they instal and play fine on W7 just like they did on XP?

Yes they should be fine mate.

I can personally vouch for Sim3. Works just fine on W7 RC

Every game that worked in vista works in windows 7 for me.

I'd say it's safe to assume that if you played your games on vista you'll play them on windows 7.

Figured this would be correct. Good news for me since I may upgrade to win7 later this year / early next.

Thanks for the link.
