I really want to see The Darkness III, I love the way the story was adapted to the games.
And well, it would more like a spin-off but... I'd love for the team behind Arkham City to come up with a good Superman game, though I agree, that'd be hard... But it would be neat, to have it set in the same universe as Arkham Asylum and Arkham City...

Banjo Tooie. I loved Nuts n Bolts, but I would like to see the series return to its glory days.
Psychonauts is also on the list, but I'm not sure where that is going. Hopefully they'll start considering its future when Double Fine Adventures is done and either do another Kickstarter or work with Mojang if that offer still stands.

I know I'll probably be alone on this one but I'd say:
The reboot of Prince of Persia from 2008
I know what most people will say against this game:
-too different from the previous games:
then what? it's an IP, that doesn't mean that you have to do the same thing over and over. Plus ubisoft already went back and started making new PoP game that ressembled the previous games.
-too easy.
I'm the first to love a challenge here and there. But it doesn't mean that every game that I play needs to be unforgiving.
i liked the fact that you couldn't die, it means that the story was never broken. It wasn't "ok you die, start again at your latest checkpoint" which more or less breaks the immersion for me. It was more "ok you screw up but Elika was there to save you (as you need to be there to save her) and you can go on on your journey.
The atmosphere in this game was just too damn perfect, as well as the visuals. But what really sold it for me was the interactions between the Prince and Elika. You begin the game as that nobody, you only care about yourself. And even if during the game the "Prince" get to know Elika better and better, your only goal is still trying to get out of here and save your *ss.
then you arrive at the end of the game. (spoilers coming)
I couldn't believe what I was doing. I was like "Oh don't tell me that I have to do what I think I have to do". But then I did it. I sacrificed everything I have been doing in the entire game to save Elika. We both had what we wanted: she saved the world and I had saved myself.
But the Prince couldn't bear to lose her. For the first time in the game he became personnaly involved.
And that was the figging end!
Long story short, I want to know what happen next ^^
(and I know there's the epilogue and a game on DS, but those doesn't solve anything).
Ubisoft, you made a great game and a great story...don't give up on it already.

The games I feel most deserving of a sequel from this gen are:
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (Not the MMO Copernicus, please)
Mirror's Edge
Alpha Protocol
Also, Nintendo, Why has there not been a single Star Fox game at all this gen, aside from a 3d re-release of Star Fox 64?

Legacy of Kain - I know about the rumour, don't remind me. And it's not a sequel.
Might & Magic - still waiting for a ninth instalment. Ubisoft, I know you can do it.
Mirror's Edge - a sequel was actually announced, so I dunno if it counts.
Half-Life - well, I did see three clouds in the sky today, that's clearly a marketing ploy by Valve so it should be coming out in the next 7 hours.
Dungeon Keeper - bye Bullfrog :/ If it were up to me, I'd have made like...10 sequels.

Let's see, i need Stuntman 2, by Reflections, featuring splitscreen Stunt Arenas so me and my dad can do some reckless driving
A Kane and Lynch sequel to dog days (nothing fancy, a low budget would do)
BATTLEFRONT III,
Mirror's Edge 2,
A Medal Of Honor set in the korean war with Pacific Assault gameplay would be da bawmb.
World in Conflict 2 would be nice (I need my airstrikes gosh darn it!).
A From Dust sequel or at least a spiritual successor and
SINGULARITY DAMN IT, RAVEN, GET YOUR ASSES TOGETHER AND LET ME PLAY WITH THE TMD SOME MORE

Everything I could think of has already been said, but whatever. Affirmation and all that.
Too much Final Fantasy, and not enough Legend of Dragoon. (Not thatFF is bad or anything, I've played nearly all of them through). But LoD needs a sequel or a prequel or something, frankly I don't care, as long as I get to hear Rose kill things.
Battlefront 3, absolutely. And on the Star Wars theme, add a new Republic Commando (with co-op multiplayer - maybe even open world, like Borderlands?) and another KotoR.
Mirror's Edge 2 would be amazing.
World in Conflict 2, that's a great idea.
WE NEED A GAME STUDIO TO BE WRITING THESE DOWN, COME ON!
I don't want to sound whiney, but how about a BETTER sequel to Supreme Commander? One that didn't ruin everything?
Age of Mythology 2 would be the greatest RTS sequel of all time. As would Impossible Creatures 2.
I SAW SINGULARITY, AND I CAN'T AGREE MORE. Unfortunately, the ending was sort of... closed-ended, so... meh, I don't care. GIVE ME MORE.
Freelancer would be nice, but with Star Citizen on the horizon I guess it won't matter.
A real Rise of Nations sequel, like Mhmh said. Rise of Legends was a totally different game.
I don't even need to mention Half Life. It saddens me too much.
There's definitely heaps of other stuff too, I just can't think of them all. Too many under appreciated games... or just too many bad games getting sequels over all the good ones. Take a year or two away from Generic "Realistic" Action Shooter #53 and make something with a bit of quality, guys. Plenty of good ideas and worlds and universes to be expanded on.
