I'd say Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. The first one was a ton of fun to play single or multiplayer..The second one was a screaming pile of crap. :(

Bioshock 2 simply didn't need to happen. MW2 so everyone could shut the fuck up about what is essentially a medicore shooter with a story designed by a comittee.
Agreed.

Personally I wish they never made Perfect Dark Zero or Banjo and Kazooie: Nuts and Bults, since all they do is lesson the effectiveness of the original games, the former for its near broken multiplayer (the term DO A BARREL ROLL really became literal for that game) and the later for having none of the charm of the original, and replaced it with horrible driving mecahinics.

KOTOR 2. It was enjoyable to a certain extent but it wasn't worthy to share the original's name.

FFX-2. I really enjoyed X. I didn't like seeing Yuna and Rikku being paraded around in skimpy outfits and giggling. That game had the possibillity to be good but the whole damn thing was fanservice. Its so far the only game i ever felt dirty after playing.

Shadow hearts: From a new World. Wow, i disliked that one. They nailed a perfect combat system in Covenant and they threw it away for that stupid brick system. As well the fanservice with the harmonixer who stripped to change form. Seriously I'm all for a boob here and there but not when its so blatantly there for fan service.

Oh yeah, while we're talking blasphemy:

God Of War
Are you referring to the existence of it being blasphemy or the fact that sequels were made? I'll agree with either statement, just to clarify my stance on the whole concept.

I'll second or 25th Deus Ex.

Commandos 2 shouldn't have had sequel itself either. Broke it.

Oh GTFO...lol

Killzone 2 is awesome, it's a stupid story with some dumb space marines, but the gameplay was awesome, and if you're saying the first game was good maybe you need to get your brain checked...0o

Better gameplay than Half Life 2, so take that you damn pansies...=P

Gothic 1, 2 and 3 are fine. Now they're making Gothic 4. made by a new studio that has already taken everything out of the games that made them good and watered it down for 360. The fact that this sequel is being made saddens me greatly.

Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts really doesn't need to exist. It isn't even a true Banjo Kazooie game.

I believe they should have kept the story going right after Banjo Tooie, you know, with an actual game called "Banjo Threeie?" As stated by Grunty herself at the end of Tooie?

I miss my N64 now.

Condemned 2.
The first one was one of the scariest, most atmospheric games ever, the tension was so tight running around with pipes, 2X4s and a taser, hearing heavy breathing around the corner... Then the second one blew that out the window for freaking superpowers and a plot so bad it was actually funny.

I'll have to agree with many others here and say Bioshock. If you're going to do an unecessary sequel, at least make it better than the first. Since that would be physically impossible in Bioshock's case, it's only natural that it was disappointing.

Despite how great the sequel was, it can't compare to the original, which will always be a standalone game in my heart.
Okay... sorry, but why?
Bioshock was a great game don't get me wrong, but II was simply amazing!
They plot tied in to the first game without too many glaringly obvious plotholes as well as expanding and bringing to light the whole idea behind the "WYK" agent.
They expanded on the world of rapture further and introduced new enemies as well as reintroduced old (goddamn did they beef up the spider splicers!).
Using the big daddy was just awesome, the drill mechanics (the fuel was a stroke of genius), the dual wielding plasmids and guns at the same time. The gameplay mechanics were so much improved from the first game as well as hacking was so much more interesting and yet still a challenge.
Not once did the game feel like a retread through rapture.
Bioshock II in many ways is easily far superiour to the first game and I would easily give it game of the year (so far, c'mon diablo III!).
In fact, my only one gripe would have to be that everytime you visited the Gene Bank, your plasmid order on the f1, f2, f3 buttons etc, would get all screwed up and it made it awkward in a fight when I was trying to freeze someone only to get telekinesis because of the mixing up. Apart from that, my experience with bioshock II was almost good enough to rival that of System shock and System Shock II.
I had hoped mass effect II would be my game of the year, but that game was awful.
In any case, I'm curious as to your reasons for "agreeing" with everyone else on what was essentially one of the best Videogame sequels (probably) ever concieved.

Killzone 2. Ugh.
You say that like the first one was something impressive ?! I think killzone 2 is fine, but we'll see about KZ3
I quite liked Killzone one (apart from the awful framerate issues and aiming mechanics) and I also like Killzone 2, but overall I'd have to say the most interesting and fun game for the series would be liberation on psp. So, damn hard, so different from the others and just so much fun!. I'm looking forward to KZ3.

Call me old, but I really wish that the MegaMan series had ended with MegaMan 6 on the NES.

After that, all the other games, they just made me 0_o

Besides that, I'll 26th Deus Ex. I bought the sequel on Steam after finishing the first one, and quit after ten minutes of straight "WTF!?".
