7 ways to spot an impending crap sequel

K.C. Cool

It Wandered In From the Wastes
Found here.

Basically this is one of games radar's many '7 list' articles. However, after reading through these, it seems Fallout 3 hit 5 out of 7 of the complaints. Fallout 3 was mentioned (though only once) in the "A Classic Franchise Rebooted."

So you know what would be really cool? Apple pie 2.0! We'll take everything that was great about the original design and bring it right up to date for a modern audience. We'll replace the pastry with chrome, upgrade the sugar to shiny metal ball-bearings and switch out those old, outdated apples for miniature disco balls with robots inside. It'll be everything everyone loved about the original apple pie, but newer and cooler! It absolutely cannot fail!

Worst offenders
Alone In The Dark, Perfect Dark Zero, Turok

Notable exceptions
Ninja Gaiden, New Super Mario Bros.

Potential future offenders
Golden Axe: Beast Rider, Fallout 3, Bionic Commando

I'm surprised the guy didn't simply list Fallout 3 on most of them.
