    Crysis, definitely. Far Cry 2 is pretty terrible.

    Oh, and STALKER. Do it.

    I've played Far Cry 2 on PS3 for a while and played the demo of Crysis. I would definitely say Crysis.

    Go get Crysis, It's a good game despite what some people say, and be creative with it.

    Haha, yeah but I am upgrading from a 10 inch netbook. My graphics board and processor easily cost more then my netbook put together. And I guess I'll be getting crysis then, thanks guys. 35 bucks is a pretty good deal for all three too. AMAZON

    Maximum Edition, definitely.. The first game is so so, but great fun if your adventurous with what you can do with the physics. If your not it can seem bland. Warhead is more tight and action orientated, and it runs better, it has a more focused single player experienced.

    Far Cry 2 is a mish mashed let down, but it's depiction of Africa is awesome at times. You should probably pick it up some time when it's dirt cheap.

    If you have a machine that can max out Crysis then I would get that game almost on that basis alone, it looks amazing. The game is pretty good too :P

    Far Cry 2 has more of an RPG flavour to it.

    Might be an idea to try out the demos.

    From what you can see in the videos, a pc built 5 years ago could run Diablo 3 today.

    Crysis Max edition is a far better buy than Farcry 2.

    They're both great games, but Far Cry 2 is definitly a lot more repetitive. My advice would be to buy them both, they're both worth it. But if a choice is necessary, Crysis.

    I like Far Cry 2, but go with Crysis, especially if your computer can handle it.

    Crysis is better, but in my opinion Far Cry 2 is not as terrible as people make out.

    There is no Far Cry 2 demo, that link is in fact for the original Far Cry, demo number 2.

    See this is what happens when I Google stuff. Anyhow, if you can play the Crysis demo with everything turned up then go with that.

    I liked Far Cry 2 when I had it for the 360. I too just built a kickass gaming computer and bought Crysis Maximum Edition. I've had a blast playing it and Crysis Wars so much more than playing Far Cry 2.
