Pokemon! There are too many pokemon games! Basically there are 5 original ones and 10 copies of them.
6 Originals. Red, Blue/Green, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Crystal. Then there's 6 copies, but some i don't mind. I hate the 3rd Gen though.

FF-X2. FF-X had an interesting premise, quirky extras you could do (like the monster hunts and snagging the ultimate weapons for your characters), and a good music score.

FF-X2 was just...it. I can't describe how bad it was. Did they really need to milk the golden teat that much more?
Hmmm, I dunno... I thought it was pretty fun. It was a bit more fast-paced, and the battle system is definitely an improvement. Not to mention the mission structure works very well. I'd say I prefer it over FFX, but that's just me.

OT: Modern Warfare 2... Ugh...
Modern Warfare is too valuable a subject to not make a sequel, it would be like not making a HL2 because HL1 was great.

Halo ODST seems like a good sequel, but why can't it be about where Master Chief drifted to? Another would be most sports games. Have they changed at all since the first of the genre?

I always feel that the third Pokemon of each generation (Platinum, Emerald... Crystal actually had some major improvements though, Yellow was shit) is a bit unnecessary I'd rather them put that effort into to just getting on with the new game.
I liked Yellow *hides*
Though it was the first one I played. I think I liked that you could have Blastoise, Charizard AND Venusaur.

I played the first three Spyro games on PS1, then I got it on DS...I was very, very disappointed.

I knew someone would say Final Fantasy. I can understand Hailene's comment about FFX-2 specifically (since I completely agree), but FF as a whole has little to no continuity. They are sequals in name only. Go ***** at a series that deserves it.

OT: COD4:MW came together so well, it didn't really need a sequel. Also, Guitar Hero's starting to get embarassing.
Well to be fair Infinity Ward couldn't just leave behind the only series they've ever done so abruptly. Besides, there's still a fair bit left to be explored in terms of gameplay I bet and at least IW actually try and add new features.

I think after MW2 (at the most MW3) then they should mix it up again, or let it die.

Are you kidding me?! Think of how many music games there are out there, then go ahead and multiply that by 100, that should be somewhere in the ballpark of how many WWII games there are.

EDIT: BTW, I agree with you on the music game thing. They must be stopped!
There are 10 Guitar Hero games. There are 9 Call of Duty games. I think that all of them after United Offensive should have been stopped. Including 4.

10+ actually, you forgot the DS games.
Ugh, I forgot about those. Do they even count as games? I think they would be better classified as torture devices. How the hell are you supposed to hold it without your arm cramping within a matter of minutes?

mercs 2. The first one was brilliant, but they basically abandoned any sence of challenge or wit in favour of airstrikes... and some more airstrikes

no game should have a new sequel EVERY YEAR, so Madden 10, Guitar Hero 5, Rockband Beatles, et. al.

That is good practical advice (and something I have said before on numerous occasions) but you can't deny the thereputic properties of being able to ***** about something while making a perfectly valid point at the same time (one of the many reasons many people actually go onto forums).

On topic, the first Drakengard game was the stuff of legend but the sequel...the first time I played it was a dark day indeed (and not in the good sense), whoever worked on that game should hang their head in shame (and maybe hit themself with a stick or something?).

Deus Ex 2. Seriously, you had three PERFECTLY good endings capping off the first game, there was NO use for mucking them up

Super Street Fighter IV and pretty much every sequel released on current systems that is simply a "new" game using the same engine with a few "upgrades".

Why not release it as an add-on to the current game, so that people can get the most out of their game, rather than reselling it, especially since the companies are so against Gamestop's practices anyway? Again, money prevails over common sense...

Most of the sequels. Only exceptions i can think of is Half-Life series and R&C series. These are sequels of highest quality,finely polished... in short,they don't suck balls.
