As was mentioned, if you play SH5, then don't buy the steam version. Buy it direct download from Amazon or something. It's usually like $10.
You have to mod it to be playable. Wolves of Steel megamod is very good, but I find the game still to be very flaky. I end up having to save game like every 5 minutes because I CTD so often. If you can limit yourself to 256 time compression or maybe 512 then you might avoid CTD issues but personally I cannot play the game that slowly - it is maddening. But any higher than 256 and you risk CTD which I get all the time.
However the graphics are much much better than SH3.
SH3 will play on a windows 7 machine just fine. I recommend GWX 3.0 with it.
