Isn't it a bit disappointing that everything is a sequel?
Fable 2, GoW 2, Fallout 3, Rock Band 2, StarCraft II, Diable III, Warcraft variants, Sims variants, Madden (insert year here), Star Wars (insert variant here)
Not that I'm upset that there are sequels, but it would be nice if there were a few more originals that generated excitement, instead of the same thing that has already been done, but more. I wonder how many great games never get a chance because they don't have a proven audience and never get noticed.
But I suppose it is hard to look forward to something that hasn't been seen before, while a sequel has an audience wanting more and that creates more "buzz". I'm as guilty as anyone, but when I saw this thread it just struck me that everything mentioned had a number behind the title.
