Is there a comprehensive list of games that, confirmed, can and will use a Quad Core processor ?

By that I don't mean like 100% of usage on all four Cores, but even if it's just 30% and all scattered on all Cores. And, also, I mean games that are already available, or will be available in the near future (somewhere until perhaps Q1 or Q2 2008). If any of you could provide me a link to such a list if it exists (if not maybe to make one ?). The only game that comes to my mind right now would be Crysis, but I don't know if that's the case since my own system is a Dual Core.

Here's a partial list, of the games that I know of that support dual-cores:

Age of Empires III, Black & White 2, Call of Duty 2, City of Villains, Doom3, Quake 4, F.E.A.R., Peter Jackson?s King Kong, Prey, Test Drive Unlimited, Serious Sam 2, Star Trek Armada 2, Star Trek Legacy, Command & Conquer 3, Splinter Cell, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, The Movies (I've never heard of it either), Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, Rainbow Six 3, Rainbow Six Vegas, Tony Hawk?s American Wasteland, Saga of Heroes, Far Cry, World of Warcraft, Supreme Commander, Bioshock, Half Life 2: Episode 2, Quake Wars, Unreal Tournament 2007, M$'s Flight Simulator X, Crysis, and I'm sure I'm not listing them all.

The majority of the dual-core-capable games above aren't multi-threaded out of the box. They have to be patched, before they have multi-threading capabilities.

These games support quad-cores: Supreme Commander (doesn't benefit much, though), Quake Wars (again, not much benefit), Flight Simulator X (utilizes all cores 100%, with roughly double the framerate over dual-cores), Unreal Tournament 2007, and Crysis (demo is only single-threaded, though).
