Default [BBC] Video games go a sequel too far
Quote:
2009 has not been a good year for video games. Like any other industry gaming has been hit hard by the recession, but at the same time it has struggled to offer the usual quantity and quality of new releases.
Sequels to previously dominant franchises are beginning to show signs of exhaustion - and games publishers are struggling to rejuvenate or replace them.

This article is only 99% true. Where's my HL2 EP3? Huh Valve? You make a sequel to L4D, but forget about your true roots. WHERE'S ME EPISODE THREE???

Now, re-read that, but with me as Sean Penn in Mystic River when he screams "is that my daughter in there!?".

Only forthcoming first person shoot 'em-up Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - the reason for many other games' craven retreat into next year - is expected to shine undiminished.
Not on the PC it won't.
