Halo 2 and Shadowrun are both Vista only so you should definately start there. There are some problems with certain games on Vista but it is safe to say that most should run on Vista by now.

If you aren't sure, just check that particular game's forum and see if anybody is reporting an issues with running it on Vista.

PS3 at #1?  Pffffft...  Yeah, that's what I think of this list.  Cnet lost some of my respect.

Young children can be affected by violent video games.... They can also be affected by learning how to drive a car, does that mean they will drive it into a crowd of people?  They can be affected by learning to read, does that mean they will read books about murder and carry it out?  They can be affected by playing sports, does that mean they will take a hockey stick and hit old ladies over the head with it?

except that video games are much, MUCH more directly related to violence than the activities you mentioned........i'm not against playing games. but i do think it's a fact that they affect younger minds and certain vulnerable individuals.

Well, if we want direct violence, then Karate, and football, and boxing, and wrestling, etc are all much more violent  than play sitting around playing a game.  And no, I'm not advocating that kids should play M rated games. They should only play games that their *parent* thinks are appropriate for them. There is no doubt in my mind that there will be some effect from prolong immersion in extremely violent games.  But will it turn them into killers? I think the millions of gamers out there that played violent games and haven't killed anybody would suggest that the answer is no.  

Steam can get much hotter than water.

Not that Wiki is a perfect source and some University will no longer allow it as a source so you would always get additional verification especially if you are writing a thesis.

If you like horror movies, try Saw 1 to 3.  It's a pretty awesome series and I am not a huge horror fan.  It an great horror flick that's scary, fun, intelligent, makes you think and has a twist at the end that will make you say, OMG!! Kinda like the twist in Matrix and 6th Sense.
