hi,
just wondering if I should even attempt to run any pre windows 7 games on windows 7 regardless of whether or not to run things using compatibility.
I haven't gamed much on PCs for a while. Are people still making new PC games (other than online games - MMORPGs etc). I know I see occasionally a new FPS game trying to test the limits of hardware etc. but for the most part everything new seems to be released on consoles only.
The only real sort of thing I was thinking of trying was something like Halo1 or is this likely to be too old.
Even then, am I best just rebuying any games which have been redesigned for windows 7 etc. What I mean is say like Civ4 has been re-released for use with Windows 7 - Is this specifically because the version which worked on XP won't work with 7.
Is there any way of getting round buying the same titles again???
Alot of the games I see being released are ones that came out years ago but have just been remade for windows 7.
I don't really want to be putting any software on my laptop if I'm just going to have to uninstall it straight away etc.
