Default Vista 64 bit game compatibilty

How compatible are most modern video games with a 64 bit operating system?

If anyone here use a 64 bit OS maybe they can give me some insite as to how some of these other somewhat older games will run that are listed on my attached pic.

Brother-in-law and myself are both using Vista 64 Home Premium and have yet to run into any software related issuses but the only older game I've tried is Chicken Invaders2. I've been playing Hellgate London, Shadowrun, and BioShock with no problems at all. B-in-Law is playing Titan Quest with no problem.

Starforce does not work properly under Vista 64 Ultimate. It will require you to use some noCD cracks to get your games to work. Otherwise, I have yet to try a game that doesn't work under Vista 64 ultimate.
