How could you not mention KOTOR 3? How???
And no The Old Republic does not count. I want a single player game to finish the storyline, but have basically given up hope.

This list sucks. It's all new games. Some of the games on here do deserve to be on this list. But a bunch of them are barely more than a year old.
While Half-Life 2, The Saboteur, and L.A. Noir are definitely appropriate titles for this list, where are some older franchises that have been sitting untouched for the better part of a decade or more? This list should have included games like:
- Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
- SimCity 4
- Master of Orion 3
- Pacific Theater of Operations
- X-COM (actually happening!)
- TIE Fighter v. X-Wing
- Star Trek: Birth of the Federation
etc.

I'm disappointed that games thet deserve one didn't get listed here, here are some
Captain Claw
Empire Earth
Zoo Tycoone
Age Of Empires
Red Alert 3 (Maybe they will have one but it deserves one before 2020)
Total Overdose (I'd Give it #1)
GTA San Andreas (I meant a continuation of the story, same characters, better features, more levels, bigger map, better graphics not that GTA IV thing)
Army Men
IGI
Lemonade Tycoone
Many other great games

[citation][nom]alidan[/nom]o come on, a rainbow 6 vegas game apposed to the older tactical rainbow 6 games? and many of the games on the list new enough to the point that a sequal will come at some point. when i read this i thought it was going to be old games that fell off the map, not a whole bunch of new games... of all the games i only really agree with 4 of them... but no roller coaster tycoon, sim city, nox, ultima, balders gate, never wither nights, i mean really... no one remembered those games?[/citation]
Hell YEA! Rollercoaster Tycoon all the way! Some of these games that demand sequels are very recent like LA Noire and Bad Company 2. It's hardly been enough time to make a sequel so chill.

I must say that virtually all of the games NOT mentioned in the article that I'd have mentioned, were covered in the comments. One, of course, that didn't would've been a sequel to Stars!, which was my favorite 4X space strategy above Master of Orion and Alpha Centauri. It did have a sequel that was in development, but was basically shelved sometime around 2003 or so, and since then both the developing company disbanded, and the publishing company (which owned a lot of the rights) went under.
[citation][nom]acku[/nom]This is about sequels not reboots. That's a whole other can of worms mate.[/citation]
But this begs the question... At what point do you draw the line between a "sequel" and a "reboot?" It can't be simply when a game series appears merely abandoned and unlikely to see another installment... As after all, pretty much all of the above games mentioned in this list qualify. In this respect, they all contrast sharply from the likes of, say, Modern Warfare 3, Elder Scrolls V, and Arkham City, all games that are certain to see sequels, with it a question merely of "when." (For MW3, that's easy: COD9 will be out in October 2012, with MW4 likely being October 2013 at this rate)
Likewise, it's not entirely a question of age: WarCraft III released in 2002, Homeworld 2 in 2003, and Half-Life² in 2004. This covers a variety of otherwise "forgotten" series, including NWN (2006, provided we're talking the modern moddable RPG series by Bioware, of course) RCT, (2004) and SC4. (2003) And it's quite arguable that they're actually less buried-and-forgotten than those others mentioned in the article... Especially WarCraft III, given that by now the WarCraft universe is all but entirely dominated by WoW, a fact Blizard recognized in one of their famous April Fools' Day jokes.
I'm half-joking when I refer to a reboot as where (often new) developers make a sequel to a franchise and just remove the number from the end, so as to "not intimidate newcomers with the fact that the installment is part of a long series." And it doesn't necessarily have to involve a huge departure, either; which kind of clashes with my own opinion, where a "reboot" often involves restarting from scratch on a lot of things. (and not just remaking an old storyline)

I was fairly sure that SMRPG and Super Metroid had sequels, though both took a bit: the former was Paper Mario (well, of a sorts) and Metroid Fusion; Super Metroid WAS termed "Metroid III" in the opening sequence, and likewise, the same was to term the GBA game as "Metroid 4;" That'd be considered seriously a proper sequel. (of course, one could say THAT in turn should've been continued)
As for Aidyn Chronicles? I was kinda iffy on the game. It showed a lot of potential in its ideas, but it had very sloppy and uneven execution throughout... Which, sadly, is something that's very criticle when you're trying to produce an epic-length Japanese-style (closed-world) RPG like that. I could point to so many criticisms that potentially left the IP beyond salvaging; a sequel that wouldn't suck, in my opinion, would almost be more of an actual "reboot." See above; this might not involve so much with storytelling, rather as a lot of the mechanics and design choices.
[citation][nom]twitchblade[/nom]The bio rifle is the NOOBIEST gun in all of UT. That basically means that you're the scum of UT and you don't contribute to anything.[/citation]
Might I guess that you suffered a number of deaths at the hands of the bio rifle? That's okay. The rationale I see here is that the bio rifle is one weapon that is very distinctly "UT." While the ASMD was certainly a great weapon, and almost certainly the best-looking, functionally it was little different from all the other railgun-type-weapons in other FPS games, save for that it had zero penetration.
And yes, while I wasn't a "competitive" player, I did play a lot, and was certainly proficient... And around 75% of my kills were split evenly between the ASMD and Flak Cannon. (the Ripper came in a more distant third, Pulse Rifle fourth)

1. Personally, I preferred TIE Fighter. 'course, I was always a more New Order person myself, and never cared much for Rebel Scum. (that, and even without Admiral Thrawn's presence, the game's storyline was brilliant)
2. I do agree that the lack of a Knights of the Old Republic 3 is boggling. The games sold excellently on both the PC and Xbox, which should've made a sequel obvious.
3. I was under the impression that Red Alert DID get a proper sequel. (two if you also count RA3)
4. Ever hear of Chris Sawyer's Locomotion? He declared it the "spiritual sequel" to his own earlier game TT/TTD; it just didn't get as much success/fame. (it also didn't have an open-source port of it made)
[citation][nom]agnickolov[/nom]Master of Magic[/citation]
Ah, yes, this. I'm surprised it took this long before someone mentioned it. A bunch of other companies have taken their crack and an attempted sequel (giving us series like Heros of Might and Magic and Age of Wonders) but we've never had anything that boldly followed directly into the original's formula. Of course, I wonder if the shameless plagarism of the style of magic from Magic: The Gathering, and the murky IP issues surrounding it, may have hampered efforts for a sequel.

Eternal Darkness (last seen Nintendo Gamecube 2002)... even an HD remake would be nice. Also, way too many of the games on the list are pretty much gonna get a sequal you just need to be patient.

There are far more great games deserving of sequels in these comments than the writer's list. Although I have to agree with Homeworld needing a sequel. If there's going to be a sequal to a rainbow six game let's make another Rogue Spear! L.A. Noire is a truely amazing game and I can't wait for every game to have the kind of story telling and human-like animation as that game. If you could have a game with the graphics of BF3, the animation and facial expression of L.A. Noire, the physics of Crysis, and the story telling of Mass Effect, then you've got yourself a very impressive game.
Here's my list of games that need sequel (in no particular order)
Descent Freespace, Homeworld, Tachyon, Ascendancy

Really Quake 1 does need a sequel. Quake 2, while still awesome, brought us an entirely different world. Then again, id can only work on so much, and I also want Doom 4.
@EJEAZY
+1 for that carmageddon reference. I still have my Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse now CD and it still works in windows 7! You need a patch or something though for it to work properly... I tried it out again last year after so many years of playing...the graphics are horrible (these days) but the gameplay is still ridiculously fun!
I've heard rumors of a Carmageddon 3 but haven't heard anything about it lately.
BRING ON CARMAGEDDON 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
