can it be a sequel if no knowledge whatsoever of the previous game is required?


i guess that could be allowed, i said no sequal because it should be an self contained story that anyone can get into. 

I should of mentioned in the OP that it should be an game that has no anti climatic ending that builds up for an sequel. 

I figured that's what you meant but wanted to make sure.

With that taken care of I'd like to recommend the following games:

  • Endless Ocean 2 (Wii) - I still consider this to be a contender for best game of the generation for me.
  • Okami (Wii)
  • Little King's Story (Wii)
  • Metroid Prime Trilogy (Wii) - 60 to 100 hrs of single player bliss. (Metroid: Other M is also very cool but different)
  • If you haven't played a Resident Evil game yet, then play 4 (the Wii edition is best) or 5 on HD consoles. Haven't played 5 myself but 4 requires no previous knowledge of the series and is GREAT!
  • If you haven't played Majora's Mask it is an amazing game with a very unique story element to it. (available on virtual console)
  • Fragile Dreams (Wii) isn't the strongest game in the world when it comes to gameplay but the story is so masterfully executed it's worth it for that alone.

I could go on but I imagine you are mostly interested in games with an interesting story, which is why I'm not mentioning the likes of Mario Galaxy 2 or other games without story.
Also, in case it isn't obvious by now, I'm a Wii only owner

Add Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn and its GameCube predecesor.
Awesome and very rewarding games.

indeed!

Also, if we're going to add GC games then consider Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door for GC as well as Luigi's Mansion, Eternal Darkness, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (it's a remake of the first in the series so not a sequel).

On Wii I forgot to mention Silent Hill: Shattered Memories.



Until you've played it, every game is a system seller!

You said it's playable on a PC. Do you realize I can list games from 1985 that are playable on the PC right now?

Maybe he did realize it... I mean, that would make his thread last for several years!

indeed, I have an PS3, 360 and an gaming Rig that can handle -2011 games at the moment, so yes i could. I dont have an wii anymore but there may be an reader that does. 

Deus Ex and Half Life are gams from 1998-1999 that i have been meaning to get. only if they came in an bundle. 



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

Valkyria Chronicles and Just Cause 2. Sure I guess Just Cause 2 is a sequel but there is absolutely no need to play the first.

A bund;e will never happen of those games unless it is some weird sale.

why no sequels?!?

This seems pretty futile, really. Some sequels are better than the originals, in fact there are quite a lot.. I mean, I can't even list a megaman of final fantasy game here that isn't 15 years old..even though said games are self contained..
