I've played Far Cry; it's fun, but *extremely* difficult.  Especially 
considering they don't let you save anywhere by default (you have to 
hack it to let you).

I tried the demo for Crysis, but a large portion of the game utilizes 
the middle mouse button.  Not the wheel; you have to press the button 
and drag.  Unfortunately, my mouse didn't work with that, so I was 
unable to perform those actions >95% of the time.  And there's no way to 
remap it (that I could find).

Add to that the fact that I had the graphics settings rather low, and it 
still ran like a snail, and a review I read recently which stated that 
some of the later levels run only 1/4 the speed of the earlier ones, and 
you start to realize just how much you need that Cray...
