Dishonored left me wanting more, which is a very good thing. The world they Created was deep, and beautiful, and while the characters did fall flat at times the rest of the game worked really well. I look forward to more Time in dunwall's plague ridden streets.
While Spec Ops: The Line doesn't need to have one, I would not be remiss if more games in the shooter genre would take the same mature approach to their subject material, it is possible for a military shooter to make us feel more than testosterone and machismo, Spec Ops: The Line is proof.
Red Dead Redemption, This Needs one, the game ended with the potential for one, and i would be disappointed if R* didn't continue the story of Jack Marston.
L.A. Noire. The Game was good, if flawed. It had some great concepts and some amazing intrigue, if only the game's Narrative had been more apparent at the beginning, instead the main narrative happens off screen, only really coming together in the game's last act, which is a shame because i quite like a good tale of murder, corruption and betrayal, and the Glitzy Backdrop of postwar Los Angeles was icing on the cake. Where can a man find the Truth, in a City Built on Lies?

My choices have been covered already;
Red Dead Redemption
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (although it would be difficult)
Mirror's Edge (my personal favourite)
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Dragon Age: Origins
One that hasn't been mentioned, Frozen Synapse. Seems to have fallen off everyone's radar.

I was going to say that I couldn't think of any, but I'd like a new Fallout.
Dishonoured was an excellent idea, and I did enjoy it, but it could do with a sequel that is more polished, larger and with more variety. I felt that passive stealth was let down a little as it simply wasn't as enjoyable due to lack of options and variety.
Did you ever play Condemned 2's multiplayer? Apart from connection/lag issues I think it was the best multiplayer idea this generation has had.

The 2008 PoP is the only one I have played, I wouldn't mind a sequel to it either.ForgottenPr0digy said:

Red Dead Redemption and Fallout 3/New Vegas gets my vote.
Granted, Fallout 4 seems to be somewhat on the way, but you never know!

Valkyria Chronicles
Yes, there are two PSP sequels, but only one of those made it outside Japan. Both are fun games that improved on the original in several ways, but the original still had this thing about it that the sequels never quite matched.
The sad part is that we only have ourselves to blame for not buying it in droves.
Red Dead 'Something'
First of all, I don't want a sequel to Red Dead Redemption. John Marston's story has been told: former monster gets strong-armed by the gov't to take out his former comrades. Monster succeeds, finds redemption and happiness. Gov't betrays and kills redeemed monster, creating a new monster in Jack Marston. The end. It's a good tragedic ending, leave it at that. I'm not interested in continuing as Jack.
Instead, I'd like a new story. Maybe something set during the American Civil War. I don't know of any good games that use this setting even though it offers a lot of interesting possibilities, both story- and gameplay-wise.
Dishonored, Syndicate & Mirror's Edge.
I'm lumping these together because the reason I want a sequel is the same for all three: they all create an interesting world, evidently putting a lot of work into it, and then don't do a whole lot with it. Some have it worse than others, but all three had moments where I learned a piece of background info and thought to myself: "Screw the main story, I want to learn more about that."
If I had to make to pick one of them for a sequel, I'd choose Dishonored, because it's arguably the best game out of the three. It's also the biggest commercial success by far and Bethesda has already pretty much confirmed they want to make it into a franchise.
The odds of more Dishonored are high. Syndicate and Mirror's Edge? Not so much.
Deus Ex
I'm just a sucker for cyberpunk.

I still think that Valkyria Chronicles needs a proper sequel on PS3.
The PSP one is cool and all, but the it won't be nearly as beautiful as the PS3 counterpart. Those water color graphics must be experienced in glorious US.

I want another Star Wars: The Force Unleashed but I want it to be an anthology series. Starkiller was useful in the first game and should have NOT been given a second. I say this every time but Force Unleashed would have been best utilized as an anthology series and I would gladly grab a new Force Unleashed if, instead of being about Starkiller AGAIN, it's given a subtitle instead of a number and centers around just about any Sith Lord/Jedi Knight from the expanded universe.
I haven't beaten it yet but that doesn't stop me from wanting more Zack and Wiki.
Valve...please, PLEASE get over your phobia of the number 3!

Since I was ninja'd on RDR and Fallout, Gran Turismo 6. Just lets remove all of the RPG elements from it and stop trying to be like Forza.
Folklore anyone? I heard that a PS Move sequel was considered at one point and was 2 points away from being greenlit. Unfortunately, Game Republic shut down so there goes that hope.
Well, I think the Overlord series need another sequel. Even if it uses teh engine and gamplay of the original with only new storyline and environments added. And of course more evil humour.
As well as Dungeon Keeper (Though I think War For the Overworld is on its way)
I'm still waiting for Half Life 2 Episode
I'd also like to see another Fable sequel that's as good as the original.(or the lost chapters) (That doesn't require kinect or any other motion control things for which I don't have enough space)
Oh, and maybe a sequel for Evil Genius. That would be nice.
And well, I'd always like seeing more non MMO sequels to the Elder Scrolls.
And to Warcraft. An RTS sequel, I mean.

God, I HATED Vanquish. That game can go to hell. Screw a sequel for it, unless they deal with it's numerous faults i.e. crummy camera, a zoom OUT when in slow motion, less busy set pieces, aesthetically pleasing set pieces, decent dialog, a story that's at least remotely interesting, etc. Actually, yes, make a sequel to that game, just to prove it's possible to make something good out of that shambles of a game.
As for me, honestly, I can't think of any. Nothing original has really impressed me that much. I guess Mirror's Edge, but that game is actually in production now.

I'm worried they're going to stop trying out new combat systems and worlds every game at this rate
Space Marine nneds a sequel. The most fundamental aspect of the game, the combat, is damn near flawless but other aspects could use some work. This is an example of where a game really deserves a sequel to improve upon the already good base game and take it to the next level, a higher standard.
