In most cases, it really doesn't end too well, but much to my delight and surprise, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is not one of those cases. Yes, friends, it's pretty good, and the gents at EA Los Angeles have done a mighty fine job. But let me get one key point out of the way early: Red Alert 3 is not a strong evolution of the series. It is, in fact, so similar to Red Alert 2 that I found myself stuck in memory lane far more often than I think the developers wanted me to be.
Just to be clear, being similar to Red Alert 2 is not a bad thing. I adored that game, and it was the first one in the series were I truly grokked the way C&C games work. I could certainly play and enjoy every other C&C game until then, but I was never any good at them – there was something about the unit balance and the tactical tools that left me, umm, ineffective. Since RA3 replicates much of RA2's balance and tactical style, though, I found myself adopting many of the old RA2 tactics forward with great success."
+ Strong unit balance
+ Fun, campy cut-scenes
+ Jonathan awesome Pryce
+ Looks and sounds good
+ Strong multiplayer
- Pathing AI is poor
- Entirely familiar ground for series regulars
ABG's newest bad-lad of the internet, Oliver Southern, has compiled a list of some of gaming's best(?) celebrity cameos. Look out for; Michael Jackson in SEGA's Space Channel 5, The Hoff in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, and...Justin Bieber playing basketball?

Now we’re not specifically looking at bad sequels to bad games, that would be boring, instead we’re looking at sequels that took what was present in a good game and completely wrecked it. These 10 games started out by building up our hype to extreme levels only to shatter our dreams and break out hearts once we got our hands on them and so we’re calling these out as the worst sequels ever made."

Dragon age 2 was not a bad game, just a terrible sequel if that makes any sense. Should have been it's own IP.
I loved Dragon Age II. I even got the platinum trophy for it. That was the very first medieval themed fantasy RPG that I enjoyed aside from an Ultima game I played in the early 90's at a cousins house.
Lord of Shadows 2 was one that left me scratching my head because I loved the first one! Red Faction Armageddon was another one that I still wonder why they didn't just give us something more like Guerrilla.
OX writes: "Halo Wars 2 is a Halo game in which instead of controlling one big space soldier, you control lots of little space soldiers from high above the battlefield. It's a real-time strategy game, yes. But aren't strategy games on consoles always terrible? Not always, as we discover in Show of the Week."
