There are so many sequels in games today, the recent releases usually consist of so-and-so 2, or thingy 4, and so forth - but which of these spawns of the original games do you think rocks more than the others out there?

I'd have to say GTA Vice City (without sounding like a fanboy), as it's thrown the GTA series from its birds-eye-view pixelated layout, to a beautifully rendered 3D world.

Other series's I think have improved since the originals include Age of Empires 2, it's just the best strategy game ever, if you disagree with me you are wrong.

However other series's seem to get worse as they go along. The Fifa series peaked with Fifa 99', a gem of a game, but the more recent Fifa titles lick balls - off the ball control? What!?

So, what sequels are good and which ones drink man mayonaise?

The Russian campaign for me was the most action packed and interesting out of all 3. Some of the American missions (the Chateau and Prison camp spring to mind) were genius, genius in every way.

Most disappointing part was the airfield, frustratingly difficult when your AI squad wouldn't shoot who they were supposed to. Still, its about the only bad thing I have to say about it.

If they say that then they are stupid and should be sacked. Personal experience is much better. Look, 3 of us are saying that COD is better.

The best moment for me though was the sniper you meet at the start of Stalingrad - he tells you there's no way up (the top was guarded by several gun nests), and that we'd be safer behind the ruins of a house.
Unfortunately, it's guarded by a Russian officer, who would shoot you as an act of cowardice.

You go anyway - and just as the guy is about to pull the trigger, he gets shot in the head - by Mr. Sniper.

Excellent, just excellent.
