Hi LiveWireNewB,
This is the answer that Lindsey got

Games are a big gamble actually. Apart from being infected, most of them will need a CD or activation code to run... so they're pretty much useless anyway. As for viruses, just scan everything you download with your AV before your open it!!! Make sure you read through this
WARNING: Viruses on the network you should be aware of

Just keep searching, be careful & if you find a game that works it's a bonus
